Downtown Patriots has released his new single ‘Bob Crane’.Hailing originally from Colchester, Essex, Downtown Patriots was willed into being by Danny Watts, a solo multi-instrumentalist who was passionate to release his music under the anonymity of a ‘band’. After many years working behind-the-scenes in one of the most prestigious studios in the world, London’s Mayfair Studios, as well as later opening his own recording studio in Southwark, Danny Watts finally took the leap of faith and acted on his concept for the Downtown Patriots project. “It’s a musical idea that allows me to bring in musicians to come and go as they are needed without the restrictions of being in a single band. Socially, #IAmDowntownPatriots could be any person who can connect with the music.” ‘Bob Crane’ is the first single to be released from the Downtown Patriot’s highly anticipated sophomore album.

Doused in blazing alternative rock with blues undertones, ‘Bob Crane’ is a feisty new single from Downtown Patriots. Sharp riffs lacerate through a brawny rhythmic wall of sound as the track ventures through dense, heavy rock moments while thick muggy synths create a dramatic 80’s – esque soundscape. As the rasped vocals depict a story of a shady character, “he was a mean old bastard by the name of Bob Crane,” the song builds, becoming more frantic and mosh ready for the energising chorus. Showcasing refined musicianship, ‘Bob Crane’ is a dynamic power tune from Downtown Patriots.
