The Downfalls are a crispy, crunchy San Francisco indie-rock trio that wraps the sweat-dripping riffage of post-punk powerpop around a creamy melodic center of 'oooohyeah' harmonies, all glazed over with a thick swarm-of-angry-bees-in-your-face fuzz bass and tom-tom fury.
Described as somewhere between 'Weezer getting its ass kicked on the playground' and the-not-so-Dandy-Warhols' the band has been honored as a Featured Artist on MP3.com (where we've been downloaded over 30,000 times) and has brought their high-energy rock show to stages throughout the Bay Area, including recent performances at the Bottom of the Hill, 12 Galaxies, the Hotel Utah and many others.
