"This is nothing short of a great record. The songs are well written, catchy, and unforgettable. The production is slick but still has a raw edgy feel. There is so much vibe oozing from this record. I am an absolute music snob. I never like anything. There have been so many disappointing new bands and new albums in recent years I feel like I have become totally jaded. This record re-instills my faith in new young bands. This has all the makings of a classic record. If this is where punk/indie rock is going among the new young crop of bands, I may actually want to be the creepy old guy in the crowd." - Trever Keith, FACE TO FACE "This record is fucking great. I am genuinely blown away. Victoria! is incredible and a must have. Records like this give me hope for the future." - Mike McColgan, STREET DOGS "This is the best new release I've heard in ages, I love it. Loads of energy and clever, memorable songs. If you weren't gonna give me one for free, I'd definitely buy it." - Colin McFaull, COCK SPARRER "I'm really digging DOWNTOWN STRUTS' Victoria! - very original. NOT cookie cutter. Stoked they are doing their own thing." - Eben Sterling, TRASHER MAGAZINE -- "Classic American punk rock with a huge slice of melody. Just what we like here in the U.K" - VIVE LE ROCK MAGAZINE "I enjoyed working on this record immensely; the songs are honest, heartfelt and sincere. The band is a great example of what is so exciting in American independent music these days - this year is already one of the best for music in a very long time." - Matt Allison, Producer of Victoria! (Atlas Studios, Chicago)
