Downtown Boys Return with First Album in Seven Years

The Providence punk band announces ‘Public Luxury,’ their first full-length since 2017’s ‘Cost of Living.’

Downtown Boys will release a new album, ‘Public Luxury,’ on June 26. This marks the band’s first full-length record since 2017’s ‘Cost of Living,’ which was their debut for Sub Pop.

The seven-year gap underscores a prolonged silence from one of American punk’s most politically charged and dynamically visceral acts. Their return signals a re-engagement from a group known for merging saxophone-driven energy with bilingual lyrics addressing systemic inequality.

The announcement confirms ongoing activity for the Providence ensemble, whose explosive live performances have cemented their reputation. Further details regarding the album’s tracklist and specific themes are expected ahead of the summer release.
