One Way Down
One Way Down is a post-hardcore rock band that formed in late 1996. Formerly known as "Decepticans," the name came from the French slang for "liars". They have shared the stage with bands such as L.A. Guns, Gilby Clarke, Taken, Snapcase, Stretch Armstrong and Social Distortion. They completed their first European tour with Wanker Records (the German Record Label) and Al Cheapo (punk band from Germany).
While working for Buddyhead Records, producer Paul Kostabi contacted Chris Ekstedt for assistance finding a band to accompany an ongoing project with The Willowz. From this, Kostabi signed One Way Down to his label Artmonkey Records.
After enlisting the help of producer Paul Kostabi, One Way Down immediately began re-recording and re-mastering Decepticans' album "No Holding Back" into what became the CD "Scheisse".
In the Summer of 2005, One Way Down recorded four more tracks for a split CD with Al Cheapo for the European tour "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”.
