On the Downside is an EP by the San Diego, California band Counterfit, released by Alphabet Records in 2000. It was the band's first EP, recorded shortly after the members had relocated to San Diego from Fairfield County, Connecticut. It was recorded in their rehearsal space and was mixed and mastered at the Mira Mesa Epicentre, a youth cafeteria which had been converted into an all-ages music venue. The EP is considered to be a demo, since it was so cheaply recorded and the songs are all in rough form. Two of its songs would be re-recorded the following year for the band's first proper studio EP. Original guitarist James Dennis left the band shortly after the release of On the Downside, and was soon replaced by Daniel Reed.
