The Downtown Fiction have begun to gain some popularity with the release of their second EP. The young trio are earning their pop rock chops. This record is short and sweet; six tracks, just under twenty minutes, but leaves you wanting more. This band has a sound that can be described as a favorable mix of Gin Blossoms and earlier All American Rejects. The first single, "I Just Wanna Run" is going to get stuck in your head (fair warning). Instrumentally, these guys are incredibly sharp. The guitar riffs seem to cut at just the right time, but are melodic when they need to be also. Lead singer, Cameron Leahy has a fresh and effortless voice that you'd swear was made for this. The content is sort of universal. It's catchy and poppy enough for teenagers, but is genuine and mature at the same time. There are themes of love, regret, frustration, and angst. They will persist through the middle of this year on tour, but are expected to begin working on a full length album soon.
