Oklahoma's own Downward are set to grace the stage at The Hope & Ruin this Saturday, 5 September, promising an evening steeped in atmospheric shoegaze, raw emo sensibilities, and evocative alternative rock. This quartet, comprising Drew Richardson, Tollie Pugh, Hunter Senft, and Severin Olsen, has been steadily building a compelling discography, having already shared a full-length album alongside a collection of singles and EPs that showcase their distinct sonic identity. Their live performances are known for their emotional resonance and immersive soundscapes, making this a must-see for fans of introspective and powerful rock music. The doors open and the music is due to kick off at 6:30pm, so arrive promptly to catch their full set. This is an opportunity to experience a band at the forefront of their genre, delivering a performance that is both cathartic and captivating.
