Belowground

**Belowground** is a raucous Los Angeles-based punk trio known for their unapologetically raw sound and DIY ethos. Formed in 2018, the band—fronted by vocalist/guitarist Jake Vocals (a tongue-in-cheek stage name)—gained traction in the SoCal underground scene with their anti-establishment anthems and basement-show energy. Their discography, including recent releases like *Fuck You All* and *Slow Decay*, leans into gritty, distorted guitars and lyrics tackling modern disillusionment, survival jobs, and societal burnout.

While avoiding mainstream polish, Belowground built a loyal following through relentless local gigs and Bandcamp drops like *2023* and *Not Today*, which channel early ’00s garage-punk revival vibes with a Gen-Z snarl. Their 2023 single *society* became an accidental TikTok rant anthem, though the band cheekily denies chasing viral fame. Known for cryptic merch drops and refusing to disclose their drummer’s real name, Belowground thrives on keeping their bio as messy as their feedback loops.
