The Downtown Fiction Release New Album, Losers & Kings

Losers & Kings, the new album from The Downtown Fiction is officially out! You can also stream the entire album via YouTube above.

“The release of Losers & Kings feels like the culmination of so many moments all leading up to this day. From the beginning, we were inspired to create something honest and human. The sound of a band in a room. We tried to remain instinctual and idealistic, even childlike. It’s a record about acceptance of yourself and others, depression, escape and those minor triumphs that keep us fighting, uniting us. We pushed ourselves and I’ve never been more proud of anything we’ve accomplished. Thank you to all those who’ve supported us these years. I hope you enjoy listening to Losers & Kings as much as we enjoyed making it.” – Cameron Leahy, Lead Vocals

Dear friends — We’re honored to announce our brand-new album, Losers & Kings, will be available on June 17th. This record celebrates the chaotic beauty and loneliness of life, our dreams and journeys, confusion and euphoria. It’s about acceptance of yourself and others. Creating this music was a colorful and inspiring period and we can’t wait for everyone to finally hear it. We’ll be playing a string of shows with You Me At Six beginning April 21st at The Troubador in Los Angeles, which will surely be an awesome time. Thank you to our TDF family for their continued support – this was all for you. Thank you! With love, Cameron. – Cameron Leahy, lead singer of The Downtown Fiction.
