When there is shit going on in the this world. A movement, a happening, it is music that provides the soundtrack.
There is something special about punk rock and people need to articulate something. Victoria Ruiz fronts the politically blistering Downtown Boys. Their record Full Communism comes out in May. The first feature song is called “Monstro” and features a fast-forward thought bomb from the Rhode Island based singer who spits between English and Spanish. The song survives and advances into a nice saxophone hook .
I was trolling Montreal based-American-Australian band Ought’s twitter to see if they had any new music. They retweeted Downtown Boys, but I did not find any new music.
I’ll have to settle for “Pill” from their Once More With Feeling ep.
Once more with feeling!
Go with yourself.
