Downturn 'Bloodshot' is out 3/7/26

Downturn are a UK-based melodic hardcore outfit blending raw aggression with emotionally charged song-writing. Drawing from the urgency of modern hardcore and the atmosphere of post-metal and alternative influences, the band craft a sound that is both heavy and deeply introspective - balancing crushing breakdowns with soaring melodies and haunting textures.

Formed with a clear intent to channel frustration, resilience, and honesty into their music, Downturn have quickly built momentum through a series of intense live performances and a growing catalogue of releases. Their sound captures the weight of personal struggle while maintaining an anthemic edge that resonates far beyond the stage.

With a DIY work ethic and a relentless drive to evolve, the band have been steadily expanding their reach across the UK underground scene, sharing stages with established acts and earning a reputation for their uncompromising energy and connection with audiences. As they continue to release new material and push their sound forward, Downturn stand as a band unafraid to confront difficult emotions head-on - turning vulnerability into strength and noise into something meaningful.

The band's previous release, 'Yoof' has helped increase their visibility with favourable feedback and global airplay and high end pick-ups across the likes of Total Rock, BSBTV, Hard Rock Hell Radio and BBC Introducing.
