It has been in the underground Puerto Ricos rock scene as one if not only goth rock remaining band in the island since the few industrial and goth influenced bands disolved Down The Halls is an Oby Wolf project still alive in the shadows waiting to creep out again. Multiple variations in the songs can be found in Oby's influences, dark lirycs some bluesy"Psychedelicy and punk guitars can be found in the songs throught time can be seen the changes with later on turned to went in more of the post punk indie direction . In 2007 with Eliab Navedo "The Professor" on bass and Fernando Navedo on drumms they played a lot of gigs including San Juan no longer there Hard Rock Cafe, Vampires the only but no longer goth pub in the island and many more pubs and bars.They recorded an ep titled Specimen wich included the first songs with a band , this lo fi ep was selled and given free at shows but still not in the internet for some weird reason but it will be soon . include s
1- Alice Falls Down The Halls
2-Anti
3-Domm soldier
4-in the quest for more
5-sadistic love (spanish version)
6-monster mash (cover)
This firs ep lo fi was in english but Sadistic love wich was changed later by Oby in spanish .The reason was the guitarist from one of the bands they played with Cronica AM an indie post punk band told Oby (we live in Puerto Rico people here speak spanish why not break on througth by writing songs in spanish) and that was the start for later songs to be written in spanish. Down The Halls had a change in members around early 2008 because Eliab was going to Florida and Fernando had other plans, Joel Berrios (Joker) drummer and Andres Berrios (Darkrain) on bass ,the brothers played with Oby in many gigs including a tribute to Spanish goth rock band Paralisis Permanente in a 2008 Halloween party in Sopranos a local bar no longer exist famous for having goth and industrial dance parties made by a local pierced suspensions goth artist Willie Wonker wich also was a DJ and Party's producer.They recorded the second ep Mil Canciones wich Oby was experimenting with a more alternative sound the quality was better but syill lo fi it included
1-Mil Canciones
2-La Muerte
3-La Carta
4-Bajando los Pasillos (instrumental)
Mil Canciones had a good feed back from a diferent crowd and so the other songs , Mil Canciones was a broken hearted balad with an exiting midle change ,
