Hailing from Essex, solo singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Danny Watts started the Downtown Patriots project in 2011 following the release of his two debut EPs “Guiding Light” and “Love”. 

Songs are built on a foundation of rock music but over time morph into whatever Danny feels like at the time.  “I just like to make music I want to listen to, rather than be dictated to by what’s popular or what is “in” at the time. My music tastes are so varied, so if I want to write a song on a ukulele or a banjo I will.  I’m currently working on a whole host of songs that range from more acoustic folk, to garage blues and I’m also working on an instrumental album too.”

The song was written in the early 2000’s as a personal rant against the current political establishment.  Every generation desires change at some point, and this song is as poignant as it was 20 years ago.  The will of the people is always stronger than a government and ultimately in a democratic society it is the people that decide whether they want a particular political party or not.

Danny’s music embodies the unapologetic spirit of the ’90s Seattle grunge scene but generates new sonic territory by infusing contemporary production techniques.

His new single and EP are out now.
