The Sunday Mourners’ latest single, “You’re Down, You’re Out”, is a beautiful homage to the heyday of sunny Southern California rock and roll only with a slightly harder-edged east coast approach. Combining the embryonic stage of Parquet Courts with the Velvet Underground and Bowie, “You’re Down, You’re Out” defies the term “throwback” by uniquely melting together influences to create a soundtrack to so many “wouldn’t it have been cool?” rock n’ roll musings. The new EP, Live From the Pearly Gates, is out now.
“You’re Down, You’re out” is the first track off our debut EP “Live from The Pearly Gates” and marks the band’s excursion from our DIY living room recording studio to someone else’s slightly less DIY recording studio. Singer Quinn Robinson and lead guitarist Max Pugh wrote the track on acoustic guitars in 2019 only to later revisit it with the kind of angsty electric fervor that can only come from sitting on a song for 3 and a half years.

This band is incredible and Throwback Rock n Roll is a perfect description and possible new music genre.
