about

Let's drink to the nights when we'll be monsters again.

Downtown is a love letter to our past and a rally for the future when we can reclaim the nightlife from the pandemic. The experiences and memories of concerts, festivals, parties and bars fuel the anthemic chorus and breakneck levels of indie punk energy. We've released a couple songs about the pain and isolation of lock down but we also wanted to write a song about what we're looking forward to and maybe took for granted before. Downtown is loosely based around a night pre-pandemic I spent drifting around Mass Street in Lawrence, Kansas with friends sneaking shots in the lines of clubs, dancing and meeting people. We can't let ourselves forget the memories of finding people you gel with and having unforgettable experiences. Grab a glass and take a listen.

This is probably one of our favorite songs we've written so far. We hope you enjoy the third single from the new album “Not Dead Yet”.

Cheers! You Monsters!

lyrics

I woke up!
Drowning in the night.
Those black heels don't give much ground
while she talks about herself.
I'll let her do the talking.
I'm eating so much crow these days;
I can drink a couple more!

Downtown
Give me the sun
on my time.
Give me a rise
Downtown
I've been waiting for
our lives to align.

No doubt we're strangers in the nightime
building tension to excite
rolling through doors and dancefloors
empty flasks out in the line
I'll take two for the team.
Swing by this party at my friend's place,
she said, "How about mine instead?"
I'm swimming through the ringing.

Give me a rise
Downtown
Give me the sun
on my time.
Give me a rise
Downtown
I've been waiting for...
I've been waiting for...
I've been waiting for...

Take on the night's luck
to savor the moment.
Just try not to fuck this up!

Give me a rise
Downtown
Give me the sun
on my time.
Give me a rise
Downtown
I've been waiting for...
I've been waiting for...
I've been waiting for...
our lives to collide!
