专辑简介

Fighting Fiction's debut four track EP "A lesser of two evils" is a powerful collision of indie rock guitar riffs, reggae tinged punk and socially aware lyrics. These are songs written with anger and sung with passion. The Bristol (UK) based four-piece envoke an honest and fundamentally English sound that is reminiscent of the brooding reggae guitar hooks of 'London Calling' era Clash, the lyrical wordplay and vocal delivery of Billy Bragg, and more recently, the acoustic guitar based sing-along sensibilities of Frank Turner and the King Blues. Recorded with Producer Mark Williams (Bloc Party, Biffy Clyro, Million Dead, Oceansize) a buoyant energy shines through these four recordings. The un-apologetic sheer youthfulness of gang vocal infused choruses and hook lines show the listener these songs are made to be sung back at them. Borne of a passion for live music and energetic performance, Fighting Fiction formed in late 2007 in Bristol when the four lads met at University. Drummer, Rob Ballingall explains why the group cliked. 'Going to gigs together when we were getting to know each other just got us talking about what we enjoy about music... a massive part of it is crowd participation, we love hand-claps and sing-alongs, call and responce... It's just a rush to get the audience involved' The band have completed a 30+ date tour across the UK this summer, supporting the likes of This town needs guns, Laura Marling, The Automatic and securing slots at both the Isle of Wight and Isle of Man TT festivals.
