We’ve always been on the upbeat side, and I think these songs are good for parties and dancing. I think it’s safe to say they will lift people’s spirits.
Downtown Rockers is a 2012 EP and the sixth studio album by American rock band Tom Tom Club, released on Nacional Records. The vinyl EP features five songs, with some digital versions expanding the track listing to nine or twelve with remixes and alternate versions. A music video was also produced for the title track.[2]
The editorial staff at AllMusic Guide gave the album four out of five stars, with reviewer Fred Thomas writing, "every song feeling more natural, relaxed, and groovy than the last".[3] Hilary Saunders of Paste rated this album a 6.8 out of 10, characterizing it as "a much-needed filler in the wide-ranging void that is the modern dance scene" that has strong instrumentation and weak lyrics.[4]
