DownTown Mystic’s “Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody”: A Vintage Rock with a Modern Conscience

With the release of “Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody, ” the artist behind DownTown Mystic, Robert Allen, presents an ageless piece of American rock that is as much a revitalized vintage as it is a fresh work. Allen, a local to Toms River, New Jersey, goes on with his endeavor of keeping intact the core and the rough side of the rock ’n’ roll, but at the same time adding it with sterling lyrics and a motion picture-like style. Under the label Sha, La Music, the song is the first single from the forthcoming Mystic Highway EP, which also features the great Jeff Levine on keys (Joe Cocker, Hall & Oates) and a top-level rhythm section of Steve Holley and Paul Page.

“Somebody’s Always Doin’ Something 2 Somebody” is an implicit theme in a socio-political rocker, expressed with urgency in today's world. The song, which is a must for any socially conscious rocker, is built around a perfect combination of gritty guitars, driving rhythms, and soulful keys and addresses the issue of the cyclical human conflict in a manner that is quite convincing, describing the fact that we consistently hurt each other, whether it is our intention or not.

This is the sort of theme that has always been around in rock music; however, DownTown Mystic still manages to take it up a notch with its delivery and overall vibe, making it feel like a purposeful work of art with a clear goal.

The entire record, with Allen at the helm, sings of a return to the warm side of vintage without the feeling that one is being taken back to the old days. It’s Tom Petty meets Springsteen kind of energy, grounded, legit, and typically American. With this effort, Downtown Mystic rocks the point home that the essence of rock ’n’ roll is still alive and kicking, and it has something to say that is truthful and heartfelt.
