Biography

we are downssides, a two piece from michigan making biblically accurate midwest emo music. 
 on the left is aj, the keys and soul of operation make this shit sound pretty. they can usually be found picking up more unnecessarily crafty hobbies, dying their hair orange to feel a little bit closer to hayley williams, or instilling hope in the hearts of customer service workers. we love aj. aj may or may not be an otter in disguise. we do not talk about it. 
 on the right is quentin, your not-so-local creator of chaos ideals. they are typically caught amongst the clouds, what they get up to is as much their guess as it is yours. they may be screaming into the void. they may be having a little jog. they may be swordfighting the lobster who stole their credit card. no one is ever certain. rumor has it quentin is not in fact human, but two very large raccoons in a ball cap and button down. they deny this. 
 together? they make “music”, allegedly. imagine if you took the sounds of noah kahan and combined them with the angst of 20-22 year olds who had to learn how to become adults with no help, then slapped some taylor swift and fall out boy inspiration on there and made it aroace. that’s downssides basically.
