Album Notes & Community Reviews

A quintessential album from The Queers, 'Don't Back Down' is a loving homage to the Ramones and classic beach party rock and roll. Produced by Billie Joe Armstrong and featuring a more polished sound than their previous efforts, the album is packed with fast, simple, and incredibly catchy songs about girls, surfing, and having fun. It solidified the band's status as masters of the bubblegum-punk subgenre.
