I am Athur Tura: The Downtown Fiction

The Downtown Fiction - Losers & Kings

Review : The Downtown Fiction - Losers & Kings : Three year later, and Virginia's very own The Downtown Fiction are picking up right where they left off. With 2011's Let's Be Animals, the band showed very well that they've got a splendid talent when it comes to putting very catchy, uplifting, relaxing, and fun spirited music. The band continues this with Losers & Kings, and nothing from this albums comes as a surprise. While retaining the same ideas as the last release, the band continues to stay fresh and make each song it's own thing. Every song is catchy and addictive, getting itself stuck in your head, and has something different to add to the album.

The Downtown Fiction have a unique talent when it comes to songwriting, as every song they seem to write is something you'd think you'd hear on the radio, or that you want to hear again and again. The band takes influence here still from both a bit of pop and rock & roll, but this time around they seem to kick the rock into higher gear. I'm not saying here that this is in fact a definitive rock & roll album, but that there really seems to be a bit more of that influence hanging around this time. Songs like "No Generation" and "Santa Cruz" honestly stick out with it comes to that more rock and energetic sound. This album, from start to finish, is hard to put down and was definitely worth the gap between albums.
