Downcast Theory was formed in Central New Jersey in June of 2007. Members Matt Simon and Jake Raynor began the search for more band members after the desire to create a new band was discovered. Matt Raunick came to Downcast Theory after playing in bands such as Rising Falls and Jake’s former band, Brewtuhl. Kenny Earl came at the recommendation of Matt Simon’s brother and soon became the final piece of what would soon become Downcast Theory. This music was made to be heard, and it will be. The Downward Spiral Has Begun.
