Fighting Fiction's debut 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 based four-piece evoke 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 the recording. 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.
The debut EP 'A lesser of two evils' Is available on Itunes on the 16th of November 2009.
'A bright light in music for their generation and many others.' - Mark Williams (Producer)
"Stormin' Norman! Tight punchy playing and production with warped off-kilter lyrics in the great English tradition of songs like Arnold Layne and Tracy Jacks. A storming track." - Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music)
"With echoes of the Libertines, The Clash, The Pogues or any number of brit-folk-punk rabble-rousers, this is certainly a powerful genre with its ability to propel live events with a raucous electricity and sense of danger." - Davey Ray Moore (Producer)
