about

Oklahoma’s DOWNWARD is the perfect example of a band who keeps their head down and drives. Not worried about keeping up with sonic trends or online presence, the band has garnered somewhat of a cult following, proving quality music is what people crave most. Since their inception the band have fine tuned their blend of simultaneously airy and heavy music, and their newest effort, “The Brass Tax”, is no exception. However; the 5 tracks that appear on this EP show a matured band taking more risks sonically in song structure and even leaning into near poplike sensibility. “The Brass Tax” is clearly the product of three musicians spending hours together in a living room working on creating timeless music.

Streaming purchase encouraged on DOWNWARD's Bandcamp: downwardok.bandcamp.com

One of the most unsettling albums i have heard in a while. Chat Pile creates a grotesque blend of noise and groove that brings me back everytime. scarface6204

Springtime and Blind

A friend with a reliably fine musical taste posted this album on FB and I wasn't disappointed. Love the guitar sound and the passionate vocals (melodic enough to not pass as screamo or whatever). Punk rock spirit yet with a lot of dynamics (definitely a yes to the Dischord reference) and compact songs that won't leave your head for a long time. Many many great tunes on here but for the moment USMA and Lay Low have to be my favorites! Great band, very happy to have found them! perpendikel

Black Line

Toronto band Respire deliver a post-hardcore tour de force on the largest scale possible, orchestrally rich and incessantly uncompromising. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 6, 2021

Private Room

On this raging triad of smart, pit-starting confessionals, the Canadian metalcore band ponder just as hard as they pummel. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 13, 2018

Great melodic hardcore can still be found despite the current dominance of beatdown bands, and Koyo is as great as melodic hardcore gets. LJDJD4
