Music: DOWNGIRL – “CPR”: Rage, Revival, and Riotous Feminine Power

DOWNGIRL are a ferocious alt-punk quartet from Sydney, Australia, known for their uncompromising energy, feminist fire, and relentless stage presence. Blending elements of grunge, riot grrrl, punk, and hard rock, the band channels pure catharsis through snarling riffs, pounding rhythms, and incendiary vocals. Their sound is both nostalgic and revolutionary — rooted in 90s angst but electrified by 2020s urgency.

Emerging from Sydney’s underground scene, DOWNGIRL have built a cult following for their explosive live shows and politically charged songwriting, tackling themes of autonomy, rage, and survival with wit and venom. With each release, they’ve solidified themselves as one of Australia’s most vital and outspoken new rock acts.

“CPR” is a searing anthem about revival — the violent rush of waking up after emotional suffocation. Fueled by visceral guitars and guttural vocals, the track captures that desperate heartbeat between collapse and rebirth. It’s equal parts scream and salvation, a cry for air in a world that keeps pressing down.

With “CPR”, DOWNGIRL don’t just breathe new life into punk — they grab it by the throat and make it scream.
