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 compromises. While the songsdeal 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.
