The Downhauls are punk rock and roll turned up loud and played fast. Back to our roots. Older and wiser, and channeling all aspects of Joan Jett. Mystical rock and roll sea creatures including members of Petty Morals, The Spoilers, VAGIANT, and SkyTigers.

After the great AI wars, it was difficult for techs such as Roxy Starr to find safety. Like most artists, especially those with strong opinions contrary to WPC (World Power Corporation), she was forced off the grid and required by charter to be silent or risk imprisonment. It was in this exile she found other such code lords, who not only shared a dislike of WPC, but also a passion for great music. Of course they immediately formed a band. Roxy and the Crisis play primarily in the Digital Universe where they can’t be compromised, but occasionally play IRL gigs, while the Corporation is busy oppressing other sectors. To the strong, the brave, and the rock n rollers; be vigilant, the truth will win in the end.

Gene Dante and the Future Starlets have made a career out of picking glitter from the gutter and wearing it to their black-tie affairs. Shuffling down the sordid streets of Boston, the indie rock rat pack travel shoulder-to-shoulder with the deviants and debutantes about town, stepping out to the beat of their own banged-up drum kit.    In 2021, their waltz kicks down the door to DL/UX, the group’s forthcoming full-length album, due out 2021. The 15-track record pulls back the velvet curtain on a modern speakeasy, the fabrication of lead singer Gene Dante. But little beyond the concept itself is made-up; beneath the group’s jewel-encrusted facade are the lyrics that Dante writes — and later, croons — entirely captured from his own experiences. Elegance, debauchery, and sweaty tales from New York and Los Angeles stages come perfectly preserved in the headspace of DL/UX, wrapped up in risqué realism.   “It crashes through the wall of pop,” Dante explains. And once that wall’s in pieces, DL/UX takes the sledgehammer to all of mainstream music’s formalities.   DL/UX builds upon the group’s past successes, which began with their previous opus The Romantic Lead, released via Omnirox Entertainment. Produced by Peter Lubin, the record’s single "A Madness To His Method'' made its way into rotation at MTV's LOGO Network. Follow-up single "The Love Letter Is Dead" peaked at number 2 on local radio airplay charts, and remained on the charts for 16 consecutive months. Most recently, Gene Dante nabbed a Boston Music Award nomination for “Best Male Vocalist'' (now simply titled “Vocalist of the Year”) in 2014.
