THIS WAY DOWN
This Way Down is a rock power trio composed of three young French artists that started playing in late September of 2018. Their style varies from alternative rock to punk sounds, with songs that allow them to express their emotions and share them with the audience. Created in late 2018 in the cente of Kuala Lumpur at Bentley Music Academy, by three school mates Léo-Wei Greiner , Sébastien Laymond and Auxence Garraud , the alternative rock power trio published their first EP "Room 12B" in April of 2019. The EP line up is composed of 5 songs, with the last one being a 6 minute long experimental/improvisational song with a kick at the end.

ARTISTS

Léo-Wei Greiner is a 15 year old guitarist. He has been playing guitar for no longer than 4 years now. Started with a guitar hero addiction, this slowly built up a strong bold with the actual instrument. Adding an essential pinch of originality into the songs, it's Leo's skills that bring an upmost importance to the band's sound with the simple use of a Fender Squier.

Sébastien Laymond is a 16 year old drummer.He is French/Irish and has been playing drums since the early age of 5. Heavily inspired by the playing of drummers such as Keith Moon, Joey Jordison and John Bonham , he is noted for his speed, groove and power. He is said to have used a double pedal in his recordings, but he only used a single , along with a normal drum-kit set up and additional cymbals to add originality to his sound. His original groove, sound, and speed brings a lot of importance to the band's sound.

Auxence Garraux is a 15 year old bassist. He has been playing bass for several years now, his playing is heavily influenced by Garage Rock/Alternative Rock sounds. He is the third and final member of This Way Down. His playing can be best heard at the start of In The Dark, the last song of their first EP. His playing for that song is very similar to Mozart's Moonlight Sonata, which is intentional. He did so to give the listeners a sense of relaxation. His heavy and simple bass lines are not only essential to the band's sound but also euphonious.

Room 12B Room 12B is This Way Down's debute EP which was released late April of 2019. It is available on 24 streaming platforms including Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and Youtube. It's mix of genres vary from Alternative Rock to Math Rock and Punk, with a touch of Pop Rock.
