Todd wins guitar for writing riff to Tommy Lee's new song " Talk Me Off The Ledge"! Check out the video!
Downside Joyride is currently recording their first full length release @ Electrocanvas in Hyde Park , NY. The recording should be complete in the fall of 2009. All songs were written by lead vocalist/guitarist Todd Mihan during 2008 -2009 then demoed at Electrocanvas and Three Bays Studios with the help of Chris Trainor ( drums ) and Mike Hamel ( bass/bg vox ). The result is a mix of rock , pop , country and blues loaded with explosive guitar playing , memorable lyrics and infectious melodies. A total of 30 songs were written in this time period 14 of which will be on the forthcoming release.
With the songs written , the time came to form a band and bring the material to life. Chris Trainor and Mike Hamel stayed onboard while Todd hired rhythm guitarist Mike Morrison to round out the sound. Downside Joyride was born.
We have posted two songs on this page from the demo sessions as a taste of what's to come. These songs will be redone and included on the final Downside Joyride recording. Please check back soon to find out where you can pick up a copy of the completed debut album.
