After adding Tyson Manning and Jeremy Thiessen, the group released its 1999 independent eponymous debut. The album was reissued (and partially re-recorded) internationally in 2001 with new bass player Glenn Lavender on Word Records, and was followed in 2003 by So Much for Substitutes, also for Word. Downhere inked a deal with Centricity Records in 2006 for its third release, the Juno and Dove award-winning Wide-Eyed and Mystified, followed by Ending Is Beginning in 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger
