Fractious

I'll do anything.. to keep this feeling....

About Me

With music that is both eclectic and dynamic -- from hard-edged sounds compared to Pearl Jam and Incubus to soundscapes reminiscent of Radiohead and U2 -- Fractious is a band with broad appeal and an honest, engaging live show.In just two years, Fractious has generated much attention, touring the Central, Western, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast regions of the US. In addition to numerous radio and television appearances, they have been featured in Juice Magazine as an up and coming indie band, showcased at the 2004 Mid-Atlantic NACA Conference, and twice at the 2005 SXSW Festival in their hometown of Austin, Texas. Whether at home in the studio, or on the road and onstage, Fractious is a band hard at work - creating, performing, and bringing their music to the world.
