Formed in 2022, Sundowner’s brand of punk-and-metal-tinged noise is the soundtrack to the urban industrial slog and the degradation of relationships and human interaction. It’s the sound of a depraved society yearning for casual death threats and disturbed power trips, subversive, noisy, and confrontational, even if the band members themselves—Cole (bass, vox), Isaac (drums), and Nick (guitar)—are anything but.
Before coming together as Sundowner, the band members played in various bands across various genres. Well, Cole and Nick did; shockingly, this is Isaac’s first band. He’s only ever played in the high school band. Not A band. THE band.
From the outset, their goal was to start a band that was drum and bass driven, with “scraping noise” layered on top of it. Hints of melody poke brightly through the din, the band’s various temperaments inspiring every facet of their cathartic sound: Isaac is unbothered; Nick is an anxious wreck; and Cole is somewhere in the middle, an anchor bridging the two.
Dripping with DIY spirit, the band’s relentless work ethic has resulted in tours around Ontario and Quebec, where they’ve honed their blistering live show into an onslaught of pointed cacophony. Their shows are pure energy, unrestrained and pummeling, the band using every inch of the stage (and pit) to thrash and slash through their chugging compositions. Drums collapse, amps fizzle and burn, and the band plays on.
