He speaks quietly, but when Jason Germain, co-lead singer and guitarist of Canadian band Downhere talks about their new album, Ending Is Beginning, he might as well be singing to the skies.

“First of all, we’re not ending as a band, not by any stretch,” Germain points out, laughing. “But the title does reflect the idea of coming to the end of yourself, of letting what you can’t change be and letting God make His strength known in our weakness. Those things that we all experience, things that don’t seem to run true, He often uses to achieve His ultimate aims for us. God uses us in our weakness. He is closest to us when we most need him. We want to capture that idea in the work we’re doing now, so Ending Is Beginning in many ways reflects of where we are as a band.”

“Where they are as a band” has changed through this group’s emergence from Canada’s alt-rock scene on the wings of their Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year and two subsequent Juno Awards for Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album Of The Year and Best Gospel Album, Canadian Gospel Music Association Covenant Awards for Rock Album of the Year and Rock Song of the Year and Dove Award for Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year.

The change manifests itself well in a dozen ways on this album alone, from the garage-rock guitar that kicks off “Bleed for This Love” to the challenge – “follow the star to a place unexpected” – posed on the final track, “How Many Kings.”

Re: try2keepSmilin Nah, you're thinking of Jason. Marc is the one who sounds like Freddie Mercury.

went 2 see Downhere, tonight in worthington ohio. they have great showmanship and a great classic rock sound with a twist of broadway. It was a good show. I agree with hurricane-mario_ Marc Martel does carry a similiar sound to Ozzy (who i love, but dont listen 2 any longer, due 2 him being the p.o.d)
