Down – ‘Punk Rock But Kinda Not’

Arriving earlier this year via Down Records/ADA, Down IV – Part Two became the band’s highest charting release to date, hitting No. 1 on the iTunes Rock Albums chart.  Stereogum described the EP’s lead single, a little ditty called “We Knew Him Well,” as “a titanic, bludgeoning deep-head-nod groove.”
