Downtown Boys have shared a new single, You're a Ghost.
The high-energy dance-punk track arrives with an anti-ICE (United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement) animated video directed by Lebanese artist Khalil, and marks the latest preview of the band's fourth album and first in nine years, 'Public Luxury', due out on June 26 via Sup Pop. Commenting on the song and clip, singer Victoria Marie and guitarist-singer Joey La Neve DeFrancesco said:
"You're a Ghost took shape in the context of the previous and current administrations' violent suppression of pro-Palestine and anti-ICE protestors, and ICE's recent, depraved escalations within the always-horrific U.S. deportation regime. In such a time, as a bare minimum, we must continue to demand freedom of migration, movement, and everything for everyone. They can’t distract us with clouds of hate. Our bodies and our history are not a game; this is a power structure. ICE out."
The Rhode Island hardcore punks announced the follow-up to 2017's 'Cost Of Living' last month alongside the release of its opening track and first single, No Me Jodas (meaning "don't fuck me").
The band have also scheduled US dates supporting Gang Of Four in June, followed by a run of headlining shows in July. Head here for details. Tickets are on sale now.
