The fierce and mighty Downtown Boys will release Public Luxury (Sub Pop), their incredible new album and the follow-up to Cost of Living, worldwide on Friday, June 26th, 2026. The new longplayer features highlights “The City Begins,” “Sirena,” “Viva La Rosa,” “You’re A Ghost,” its title track, and today’s offering, the massive “No Me Jodas.” Public Luxury was co-produced by Downtown Boys’ Joey La Neve DeFrancesco and recording engineer Seth Manchester (Lambrini Girls, Lightning Bolt, Model/Actriz), at the Pawtucket, RI studio and arts space Machines With Magnets. The album was mastered by Heba Kadry.
In the “No Me Jodas” video, Downtown Boys perform with explosive energy for an enraptured crowd at a small club in Brooklyn. The visual was directed by John McKay (Nation of Language “Inept Apollo,” “I’m Not Ready For The Change”), and also stars Mariachi Internacional Tapatio De Alvaro Paulino. Watch here.
Singer Victoria Marie offers this on the music video, “The video for ’No Me Jodas’ (translation: ‘don’t fuck with me’) is inspired by the aesthetic of ‘chicha’ —a music culture out of Peru that is also about economics, work, partying, life, desire, and nightlife. The ethic, as put by one Chicha musician, Chacalón, is two words: chamba and vacilón (hard work and partying).”
Downtown Boys are also sharing a few 2026 headlining shows happening this Thursday, March 26th, through Saturday, March 28th. Additional live dates will be announced soon.
