Let Me Downs<\/a><\/strong>, a new punk rock band from Tacoma, WA, have issued the title track of their forthcoming album as their debut single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The three-piece were formed in the winter of 2019 out of the ashes of broken hearts and empty glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paul Levesque (bass\/vocals) relocated from Phoenix, AZ, to Tacoma, WA, and recruited Garrett ‘Stump’ Guadiana (drums) and Pat Hall (guitar\/vocals).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something good<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After just one rehearsal they knew they were onto something good, and after a few more Let Me Downs<\/strong><\/a> had written what is now their debut record, Tacoma Is For Lovers<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon after the trio formed Levesque had to move back to Phoenix, but they refused to throw in the towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With travelling impossible during the pandemic, Levesque recorded his bass and vocals in Arizona, while Hall and Guadiana did their parts in Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outcome was 11 slices of energised, emotionally-driven punk rock. The title track, Tacoma Is For Lovers<\/em>, has been released as the lead single, ahead of the album’s July 16 release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An enjoyable slice of melodic punk with just enough bite, it should appeal to fans of bands like The Menzingers<\/a><\/strong>, Face To Face<\/a><\/strong> and Hot Water Music<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Levesque, a veteran of bands such as Look Out Look and Lightspeedgo, says: “This record definitely means a lot to me. I wrote most of these songs when I was going through a real tough time in my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“A lot of life changes happening. Still pulls on the heart strings a little bit when ever I play or hear the songs. My mind is still blown how we pulled this off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Recording in two different states is something I have never done. It was a challenge for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“But I couldn’t be more stoked on how everything came together. I’m super proud of what Garrett, Pat and myself were able to accomplish.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let Me Downs<\/a><\/strong>‘ first-ever gig is the Tacoma Is for Lovers<\/em>‘ release show on Saturday, July 17, in Tempe, AZ. You can pre-order the album on CD and limited edition vinyl HERE<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
