On their latest LP, produced by Fugazi’s Guy Picciotto, Downtown Boys present their thundering political punk with a richer sound. Singer Victoria Ruiz presses deep into the poetics of confrontation.

Our take on the latest from the lefty punk rockers.

Downtown Boys' new album is a steadier, cleaner refinement of their sound, and the result is an exceptionally ferocious collection of political punk jams.

Downtown Boys are an antidote to 2017, to Trump's America, to oppression of all marginalized groups.

The third album from Providence band Downtown Boys takes aim at fascism, queerphobia, capitalism, and racism in a howl of cathartic energy.
