RPM promotions "THE FICTION are a band that make you feel you're not as young, exciting or good looking as you used to be. They play ferocious post-punk with tight songs in the rich tradition of British bands like Wire and Gang of Four. Carrying out the mantra of 'leave em wanting more', their live set consists of exhilaratingly short, punchy songs, gorgeous riffs and melodies that ring out in even the most saturated of post-punk ears."
LosingToday.com "the speeding blood rushing pop mentality of early career Buzzcocks being scratched, scarred and hollowed by the Gang of 4"
