The Downtown Fiction is a power pop band from Fairfax, V.A., formed in the summer of 2008 by Cameron Leahy (guitar/vocals) and Eric Jones (drums). The two posted three demos on the band’s MySpace profile and quickly built a following and added David Pavluk (bass/background vocals) to the line up. After a year of touring, The Downtown Fiction announced their signing with Photo Finish / Atlantic Records. The band performed on the 2010 Bamboozle Roadshow

Song: "The Best I Never Had" Artist: The Downtown Fiction Album: "The Best I Never Had - EP" Year: 2010
Verse 1: FCG I knew you once, you never knew me then. FCG Afraid to ever say I wanted to be friends, AmCG but now the years have passed, you're far away. AmCG But suddenly I feel I'm not the same. AmCG The walls are breaking down, I think I'm crackin' up, AmCG I look around, everything's too much...
Chorus: FCG And the world is spinning much too fast, AmFCG well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last. FCG The world is slipping from my grasp, AmCF I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind, GAm you were the best I never had.
Verse 2: FCG Remember when I saw you in the hall? FCG You passed right by my stare, not noticing at all. AmCG If I had the guts, I'd catch your glance, AmCG but I am just the boy without a chance. AmCG The walls are breaking down, I think I'm crackin' up, AmCG I look around, everything's too much...
Chorus:
FCG And the world is spinning much too fast, AmFCG well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last. FCG The world is slipping from my grasp, AmCF I'm looking 'round to find the girl I left behind, GFCG you were the best I never had. AmF You're the best I never had
Chorus: FCG And the world is spinning much too fast, AmFCG well I can hardly catch my breath and I just hope that this will last.
