FIGHTING FICTION debut EP 'A lesser of two evils' released on DPR 16/11/09
iTunes / Play.com / Amazon mp3 / Fintunes / 7Digital / Spotify
A Lesser Of Two Evils, the debut from feisty Bristolians Fighting Fiction, is an EP full of very British' punk, with the social conscience and the passion of a band with something to say. While their ska-tinted punk rock may not be the most imaginative, their appeal is that what they articulate what a lot of people are thinking - the most obvious case being lead track 'A Lesser Of Two Evils', with its cutting "Red or blue both look the same/Choose what you disagree with less" and its crowd-friendly calls for change. And being crowd friendly is certainly something the band excels in, packing in singalong and call-and-response moments. Raucous and energetic, this is the stuff to lift the roofs off venues in a wash of raised beers and raised voices.
Our personal favourite though is ‘Cameraphones And Choruses’, a side-splitting song for those annoyed by the YouTube brigade ("Could you really enjoy a song staring through a 2 inch screen/When you're really in the room when the band begins to sing?"). Naturally, the chorus is impossibly catchy. Ultimately this is nothing the likes of Billy Bragg, Frank Turner and (most obviously) The King Blues haven't done already, but as the recent rise to prominence of the latter shows, there's a market for this brand of honest, passionate, everyman punk rock - ROCKLOUDER 4/5!

The Worldonfire
Following their critically acclaimed debut EP ‘Garden Cities of Tomorrow’, hotly tipped alt-rock quintet The Worldonfire re- released their debut album ‘…Live to Tell the Tale’ digitally for the first time on Dead Planet Records in February this year. Their second album ‘...Sail The Rough Sea’ recorded with the production expertise of Ant Chapman (Klaxons, Mclusky) and Oceansize vocalist / guitarist Mike Vennart, is the product of a hectic two-year schedule that commenced when The Worldonfire’s current line-up was solidified. Since then, they’ve headlined shows across the country (including 250-800 capacity gigs in the south-east), played with bands including Enter Shikari, Oceansize, Frank Turner, Good Shoes, Miocene, Fighting With Wire and Taking Back Sunday. The new album was mixed by legendary producer Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Hell Is For Heroes, Radiohead) and is out now on Dead Planet Records, available on itunes (UK and US), Finetunes (Germany), EMusic, Amazon and Spotify.
Fighting Fiction
A powerful collision of indie rock guitar riffs, reggae tinged punk and socially aware lyrics. Fighting Fiction are a tight and wild live act, with hook lines catchier than herpes at a 'skins' after show party.
