Battleship Down

As Austin's most provocative outlaw rock band, Battleship Down are reinventing rock. With all original music that's at once melodic and crunchy, the lyrics capture the zeitgeist of the times, in the timeless subversion of rock and punk, and drawing musically from both modernity and the classics.

Bassist Greg Madianos most recently played with modern country singer Pamela Danzy + accompanied vocalists on piano before heeding the call to support our Outlaw Rock with the gentle, dulcet tones of a 400W tube amp cranked far into overdrive. Josh Pruitt hails from Vegas, and has drummed in several Austin bands, most notably The Dirty Hearts. Lead guitarist Kevin Dodds and guitarist/vocalist Lance Ellisor went to high school together outside of Houston; both came to Austin for school and to play. Kevin and other high school friends founded the legendary Austin rock band Steamroller (and they still play today).
