were a bit quite on the gig front but its intentional. we're recording our album really soon now. were in the studio on 18th & 19th of june to record the drums for the album, after that were sorting the rest out over the next 2 months or so after that. keep checkin back as we will still be playing more gigs, but once the album is out expect many many many more gigs :D
Hey folks, we're The Fractions from in and around Rochdale, Manchester, UK. We've been playing together in some lineup or another for the last 6 years or so, travelled the country and met some great people who we're now good friends with. We've played with loads of mint bands and had the chance play alongside the likes of Leatherface, Rancid, Big d and the kids table, the peacocks, milloy,Uk Subs, the vibrators, chase longbeach, and loads more
this is what we're up to
we've been finishing off some new tracks for our debut album album. we're gonna be demo-ing it over the next few months, and looking at recording it in the first half of 2009
we have a new van !
we now have a webstore at www.thefractions.bigcartel.com where you can buy our CD's and T-shirts. we brought a split ep out earlier this year on TNS records, with fellow manc band revenge of the psychotronic man. its only a couple of quid......as is the TNS compilation cd we're featured on, along side bands such as the great st louis, hairjan, just panic, the hyperjax, dog toffee, buzzkill and many more. check the webstore for full listings of all cds
last of all, i'd like to that everyone who comes down to our gigs, buys our stuff, says hi, and generally shows an interrest in what we're doing. a special thank you to everyone who came down to see us when we played with rancid in sheffield.
You guys should start a tour in the States... It would kick ass. Specially because Ska/punk bands are tourring alot here this days. The shows get massively pack Here in L.A.
Check the new tracks on our page. CD launch is at Retro on 1st may, would be awesome and mean a lot if you could make it! You can also pick up the new Shadowcops CD for just £6 from www.tnsrecords.co.uk
hey guys... fucking awesome night in perth... need to get some more gigs together... backdoor project would be a superb place as we played there years ago n it was one ofthe highlights of that tour
