It's been four years since we last heard from Perth's Burning Fiction and their new full-length album Contrasts takes a leaf straight out of the pop-punk playbook, mixing their signature high-energy style, catchy choruses and almost-Blink-182-esque hooks.
All the standard themes of angst and fun are here, from loves lost and won to hanging out with friends. The mix is a little bass- and drum-heavy, with the guitar sound coming through as thin on a few of the tracks, but it's a solid effort from the quintet of 20-something punk rockers.
