Down With Rent Unleash New Single “2008 Again” & Announce “Shithead Americana” EP

Connecticut hardcore punk band Down With Rent have released their latest single, 2008 Again, that is taken from their upcoming EP, Shithead Americana, which outlines the political and sociological issues facing the US through a barrage of distorted guitars and dissenting commentary. The track is an impactful offering that sees the band take a swing at the increasing commercialization of nostalgia in an attempt to distract working people from the multitude of problems facing them. Loud, brash and unyielding the track pulls no punches as it opens to a fury of guitars, feedback and piercing vocal lines that lead through driving basslines and explosive drum beats to the enraged chants of the chorus.

“Everything is a reboot, a remaster, a sequel and people in America are just desperate for something familiar and comforting and we do the same thing with our politicians. People are yearning for a time when everything seemed good, moral, or like we were heading toward a better place. The reality is that the past never really existed and there is no return to normalcy.”
