Brock Downey is a rock band from Melbourne.[2]

Danny Baeffel and Luke Szabo had a duo called Star 10 which released a CD called Open House in 2001.[3] They recruited Kristoff Lajoure and Ysbrand Daniel Brandsma and formed Brock Downey[4] (named after the younger brother of a friend).[5] Their debut single "Don't Bring Me Down" was released in July 2004[6] and debuted at #91 on the ARIA singles chart.[7] Brandsma left the band later that year and was replaced by Ryan Sheldon in 2005.

Baeffel, Szabo, Lajoure and Sheldon became the Scissor File, releasing an EP From a Whisper to a Scream in 2007.[8] Szabo left to join the Hot Lies.[9] The Scissor File continued on with multiple personnel changes[10] until their break up with only Baeffel remaining from the original lineup. Baeffel went on to perform as Cisco Rose and Szabo took up the stage name Grass Taylor.
