The Downliners Sect is a British rock and roll band that emerged from London in the early 1960s, known for their raw energy and blues-influenced sound that helped define the mod and R&B movements of the era. Led by vocalist Don Craine, the group became influential pioneers of garage rock with hits like "The New Crawdaddy" and a reputation for electrifying live performances. Though the original lineup disbanded in the late 1960s, The Downliners Sect have reunited periodically to delight fans with their classic rebellious spirit and infectious rock and roll sound.
