About the event
Founded in Maryland's Mountains in 2015, The Downstrokes bring a sonic avalanche to whatever stage they play: high octane garage punk. Their self-released first album New York Girl, fused Lower East Side energy with pop punk hooks. Their sophomore release invited listeners to Fall in Love with Punk Rock Again (Snubbed Records). 2020's Unsafe at Any Speed (Coffin Curse), found the band continuing to explore the boundaries of punk rock moving from the street punk anthemic "Lies That We Believed" to the call to action of "Toy Gun" to the more rogue folk of "Time Bomb."
A few pandemic singles paved the way for their new album This Close toe Vertigo (Coffin Curse/Allegedly Records), mastered by Mass Giorgini.
Next up is a split LP with their good friends The Prozacs coming out on River Monster Records in 2024.
The Downstrokes have played all over the Eastern US and the American Midwest, and they have been regulars at the Savage Mountain Punk Fest. They've played with Richie Ramone, The Queers, Huntingtons, Electric Frankenstein, The Undead, Reno Divorce, Suzi Moon, and more.
