Info.

Fiction originated as a collaboration between Jeremy Roye and Michael Zawodniak in 2005. The duo later expanded the line up with the addition of multi-instrumentalists Matt Latour and Henna Chou in 2006.

The group utilizes a palette of traditional rock instrumentation and experimental elements such as strings, synthesizers, multi-part harmonies, electronic beats, live looping/sampling, and flute.

Here is what one friend has to say about the band ..

"At this late point in the evolution of aesthetic development, it really takes effort to produce a fresh take on rock-oriented music-just listen to what most bands are up to these days. But local five-piece Fiction refuse to offer a dude-ly homage to the Emperor of the Past, instead swimming out towards a world of inspired, unhurried, unabashed creativity. This brand-new yellow fledgling already has an original project in motion, augmenting standard instrumentation with un-common-time rhythms, cello, wood-flute, and digital beats and blurbisms fitted into a dynamic approach that could go in innumerable directions. Some moments are more-or-less modified pop confections, albeit with a just-under-the-surface tension of players preparing to cult loose, and to spread out into multiple sonic dimensions. Over and over this urge to explore emerges out of the vaguely rock-standard platform of each song, opening up intricate passages suggesting narrative and emotional depth. In a loose sense this is "rock", but the container does not define the contents, in this instance. Most infant bands do their best to keep-it-together, but Fiction is already crawling toward Art. Listen."
