If you don't know us, we're The Fractions from in and around Rochdale, Manchester, UK (with a dash of new mills and essex!). 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 loads of different bands like Leatherface, Rancid, Big d and the kids table, the peacocks, milloy, the splitters, Uk Subs, 3 minute warning, the vibrators, crazy arm, chase longbeach, and loads more
this is what we're up to
We're a bit quiet on the gig front but its intentional. we've just finished recording our album and are putting final touches to it before we unleash it, which we hope to in a couple of months.
we have a new van !
we also have a webstore at www.thefractions.bigcartel.com where you can buy our CD's and T-shirts. we brought a split ep out last 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.
