The Comedowns formed in Burnaby, Vancouver in 2004. Shows at the Roxy, Railway Club, Candy Bar and Buffalo club in North America, a recording at Fiasco Brother's studio and radio play have helped the band's popularity gather momentum overseas.
Tours around major Canadian,US, Australian and New Zealand cities and an appearance at Indie Night in Canada presented by C-Fox 99.3 gave rise to the band's work with producers from Greenhouse Studios.
‘For Your Pain’ is the latest release from The Comedowns. Recorded at Neil Finn ' s Roundhead Studios in Auckland , New Zealand in May 2008, and sound engineered by Neil Baldock (Crowded House, Kayne West, Liam Finn, Shihad, Bic Runga).
The subject matter may be thought provoking and exploratory but steers clear of melancholic to produce a sound uniquely belonging to the band. From the drifting melodic guitar sounds of Dissolve, to the unashamed heavy rock of Decontrol and the 80s arpeggiator of Adore, this EP will tempt you to the darkside, but bring you back in one piece.
Available on iTunes worldwide as well as on limited release CD, The Comedowns have already attracted international interest with play in the UK, Europe, USA and Canada.
