Closedown

Closedown is a Cleveland-based post-hardcore and screamo band that formed around 2019. The group, featuring members from bands like Wolf Teeth and Atomic Witch, channels influences ranging from The Cure to Portraits of Past and Drive Like Jehu. They released a debut EP in 2020 that captures themes of personal pain and healing, focusing on catharsis rather than just angst.
