Downtown Boys live in session

Steve welcomes the punk five-piece from Rhode Island to 6 Music Live Room. Expect raucous, anti-oppression, anti-racism and anti-sexism songs of protest.

Steve welcomes the punk five-piece from Rhode Island to the 6 Music Live Room. Having just released their first record on Sub Pop, 'Cost of Living', the band say they're 'using this new platform as a megaphone for their protest music, amplifying and centring Chicana, queer, and Latino voices in the far-too-whitewashed world of rock'.

Also find out how today's faring for our Good Day Bad Day caller, and soundtrack our pick from the newsstands in the National Anthem. Plus Steve brings the best of brand new music, classic tracks, archive sessions and forgotten treasures.
