Downstater is a punk rock quartet hailing straight from Quebec City. Melding the essence of rock music with punk rawness, this melodic achievement exhibits the trail of a spirited and raging youth with words expressed without compromise. While the songs deal with nostalgia, anger and resentment, the band’s introspective writing reveals a will to give sense to all these aches and wounds in order to live,not to say survive. Bringing back honest music to the forefront, Downstater is an illustrative collection of melancholy-fueled indie rock songs pouring with emotion and integrity.

DOWNSTATER IS:

Jean-Philippe Lagacé (Guitar/Vocals)

Sonny Létourneau (Bass)

Daniel-Alexandre Paré (Guitar)

Éric Morin (Drums)

* Singer  Jean-Philippe Lagacé is also known for his hardcore reputed band Get The Shot.

Love Equals Death release new single “3420” via SBÄM & Say-10
16 years after the last full length “Nightmerica” (Fat Wreck Chords) the new Love Equals Death album “Gravity And Grace” will be released on July 17th via SBÄM / Say-10 Records. With 3420 the second single is now released, which is the closer of the album produced by Jamie McMann (Lagwagon, Cobra Skulls, Swingin Utters).

Formed by Chon Travis (Loose Change), the horror / skate punk band is often compared to the second Loose Change follow-up band AFI, started by Jade Puget. Love Equals Death has toured with bands such as Pennywise, NOFX, Street Dogs, Death By Stereo, Strung Out, No Use For A Name and several more. On SBÄM / Say-10 they recently released a compilation with older material from the pre-fat era and a split 7″ with post-punk band The Static Age.

Love Equals Death will be on tour in Europe this summer.
