The Downstrokes

Western Maryland's The Downstrokes have come out of the garage with four on the floor punk energy and post-punk stylings. Fronted with the formidable Fender and Gibson combination in the hands of Summerfield and LaFemina, and driven by the rhythms of Wood and Waggoner, they hit the highways of American high energy punk rock-n-roll. Following their 2019 Snubbed Records EP release "Fall in love with punk rock again", the 2021 full length release "Unsafe at Any Speed" (Shredding Material / Coffin Curse) reflects their wide range of influences and delivers 11 songs of high-adrenaline rhythms, hard-hitting hooks, and smart, heartfelt lyrics.
