History

1998–2007: Early years

Down with Webster originally started as a instrumental jazz band[3] that was formed for a music class[4] at Glen Ames Senior Public School in 1998 by band members Patrick Gillett and Tyler Armes.[5][6] They, along with the original members of the band, quickly named the group toward the end of class after the beloved titular character from the 80s sitcom Webster, who is played by Emmanuel Lewis.[7][8] After winning their school's "Battle of the Bands" competition,[9] they group was joined by Andrew Martino and Martin "Bucky" Seja, students from Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts,[10][11] and other members who attended Malvern Collegiate Institute.[12] As a jam band, they made funk and jazz inspired music in Armes' father garage.[13] Hip-hop elements were incorporated into their music once Seja became a part of the group.[14]

The band released a six-track CD-R EP titled The Reverb Session July '03. This release was primarily sold at shows and local concerts from July 2003 to 2004.[15] After leaving university, Cameron Hunter decided to be more involved with the band.[10] Him and Kyle "Kap" Fairlie, the younger brother of Kristin Fairlie and a former actor whose voice work includes the Nelvana series Redwall, Franklin, Babar and Rolie Polie Olie,[16] and film The Little Bear Movie,[17] made their appearance on the band's 2007 debut independent self-titled album.[18]

2008–2012: Time to Win, Vol. I & II

Their performance at Canadian Music Week in 2008, was recounted by Jill Langlois of Chart as "one of the best shows I've ever seen" and "the band exploded onto the stage and never slowed down or stopped. Words will never really describe the Down With Webster experience." They were also described as "flashy and obnoxious, but fun and loveable".[19] The group won the Rogers Mobile/Universal Music Best Unsigned Artist in Canada award. KISS frontman Gene Simmons and Timbaland had expressed interest in signing the band to their respective labels. Simmons also had aspirations for them to appear in a reality series to promote their music.[20] According to Timbaland, "That group is the most amazing and creative, innovative group that's going to come out in 2010."[21][22] Ultimately, they signed with Universal/Motown."[23] The band's debut gold-certified EP[24] Time to Win, Vol. I was released on October 6, 2009.[22] The lead single from EP "Rich Girl$", which sampled the Hall & Oates' track of the same name, peaked at No. 21 on the Canadian Hot 100. In the fall of 2009, they opened for Forever the Sickest Kids on the Cheap Date Tour.

The follow-up single "Your Man" peaked at No. 12 on the Hot 100, and was certified double platinum in digital downloads by the CRIA.[25][26] The first headlining tour, WINTOUR I, had the band tour Canada and the United States in January and February 2010.[27] The band also for Timbaland on two dates in February on the Shock Value II Tour. The tour started in Halifax on January 7 and ended on February 1 in Vancouver. Furthermore, the band opened for The Black Eyed Peas on one date in The E.N.D. Tour in Sarnia, Ontario. They were nominated for "New Group of the Year" at the 2010 Juno Awards, losing to Arkells.[28] Additionally, they received nominations for "UR Fave: New Artist" as well as "Pop Video of the Year", "UR Fave: New Artist" and "Pop Video of the Year" at the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards.[29] They also won the "Online Artist of the Year" at the 2010 Canadian New Media Awards.[30] The third single "Whoa Is Me", was released on June 15, 2010, and peaked at No. 13 on the Canadian Hot 100.[31] Over the summer, they played at festivals such as the SCENE Music Festival[32] and the Ottawa Bluesfest.[33] After finishing the Streets of Gold Tour with 3OH!3 and Hellogoodbye, the band would "lock ourselves in the studio for a couple of months" and finish their forthcoming album.[34] The tour was completed on November 24, 2010, at Albuquerque, New Mexico. They then performed at the pregame show for the 98th Grey Cup.[35]

WINtour II, a cross-Canada tour that supported their upcoming album began on February 22, 2011, in Lethbridge, Alberta and ended on March 12 in Toronto.[36] They were nominated for two awards at the Juno Awards of 2011, Group of the Year and Pop Album of the Year.[37] The band also performed at the awards ceremony on March 27, 2011, at the Air Canada Centre.[38] The band was nominated for four 2011 MuchMusic Video Awards[39] and won one award for Pop Video of the Year for "Whoa Is Me".[40] On May 12, 2011, it was announced that hype man Kyle "Kap" Fairlie was no longer in the band, citing their reason as "6 guys going in one musical direction that didn't quite fit with the 7th."[41] The group played at summer festivals and exhibitions including the Red River Exhibition; Salmonfest in Grand Falls-Windsor, opening for Kiss; and Capital Ex, where Armes' former band The Midway State was their supporting act.[42][43] The first single from their upcoming album, "She's Dope", was released on May 23, 2011. It peaked at No. 18 on the Hot 100. "Big Wheels" was released as the album's second single on September 9, 2011 and peaked at No. 51 on the Hot 100.

It peaked at #2 on the Canadian Albums Chart[50] and was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the Juno Awards.[51] Their version of "Saturday Night" was played during the NHL's 2013-14 season on Hockey Night in Canada.[52][53] "Chills" was released on December 17, 2013, becoming the band's fourth single to reach the top 20 of the Canadian Hot 100 and spending 34 weeks on the chart—longer than any song they released previously. On February 9, 2014, an alternate version of "Feel So Alive" was played during the CBC Olympic broadcasts of the 2014 Winter Olympics.[54][55] The band toured from 2014, starting on the fourth and final installment of their WINtours across Canada,[56] to 2015 in the US.
