The Sexiest Homicide Ever!

About Me

Downstate is a 4-piece band out of St. Louis, Mo that rocks straighter than a spear impaling your face. Over the last two years, they have built themselves a solid fan base from constant regional touring and radio support, opening for countless national acts (Bayside, Haste The Day, As Cities Burn, Vendetta Red to name a few), and showcasing at all of the major venues in STL. Their debut release, Liquor, Lust, & Lies came out November 11, 2006 on Vigilant Records .

Sounds Like:A few words regarding Downstate:
Lorene Drive (Lobster Records)
-Downstate finds a way to sound full and epic without ever leaving their straight rock roots behind. Vocal melodies are catchy as hell.

Haste The Day (Solid State Records)-A breath of fresh air in the rock/post-hardcore scene. -Jimmy

Cute Is What We Aim For (Fueled By Ramen)- Strong, catchy songs. It's only a matter of time before these guys get picked up. -Fred

Tokyo Rose (SideCho Records)-These guys are the complete package when it comes to great songwriting and a stellar live show..but honestly, what's wrong with foreplay?? -Chris

Bear vs. Shark (Equal Vision Records)-This band is absolutely dead on live. I thoroughly enjoyed watching their set. -Mark Paffi

Vendetta Red (Sony Epic Records)-I love what these guys are doing. Tight, energetic live show. -Zach
