Downliners Sect

British R&B and garage rock band

Downliners Sect is a British rhythm and blues and garage rock band that formed in the mid-1960s. They were part of the British R&B boom, drawing inspiration from American blues and rock 'n' roll artists. The band gained a reputation for their raw and energetic performances, as well as their distinctive approach to R&B. They were contemporaries of better-known British Invasion groups but maintained a more underground following. Downliners Sect's lineup has seen changes over the years, but they have continued to perform and record music well past their initial 1960s heyday, contributing to their status as cult favorites among fans of garage rock and British R&B.
