Downhill had no downfalls

They may have been the first of four acts on stage for this evening’s night of the Room 94 tour at the O2 Islington 2 Academy, but they were certainly not planning on being the ones forgotten.

This Irish based quintet, have enormous potential. Their set was tremendously energetic, full of energy, ambition and most importantly enthusiasm. Each of the band members put their hearts into playing to the best of their ability and encouraging the crowd, not that they needed it, to move to the music; anything from a hand clap to a full on dance. When it came to the harmonies, it was surprising how well these lads could pull together and unite to create something special and unforgettable. They had the crowd screaming along where they knew the words or in some instance just screaming along for the sake of appreciation. One of the most respected songs that enticed the most screams from the crowd was a cover of Katie Perry’s ‘Walking Up In Vegas’ where Sean Lemon of Mavrickz joined them onstage.

With the progress these guys made through just one set, gaining the attention and respect from the entire crowd, their future looks set in stone.
