Influences:

An acoustic rock brew that’s a true original.

A noisy room, a center stage, the perfect place, a friend awaits...
A mic, a six-string and a life spent dreaming; just another beer, just another night.
They push, they prod, I wink, I nod... a comfortable lie from an uncomfortable fool.
One step, one strum, one song- that’s all that it would take, if only, I would not play it safe.

I write this twenty years up the line and I pray that it’s fiction twenty down. (Lyrics from Fiction 20 Down)

And so it is...

Fiction 20 Down is a band on a mission... a mission to answer their own prayer!

"So often we are asked about what our band name means and where it came from... well, the easy answer is to say that it’s the title of one of our songs, but if you read through the lyrics you begin to truly understand the meaning behind the name and the band... it’s really about doing anything and everything you need to do in life so that you’ll never be able to look back, at any age, with any regrets." - Jordan Lally (vocals/guitar)

Every time Fiction 20 Down sets foot on stage they are not only fulfilling their namesake, but they are spreading their sound among a loyal grassroots following that’s growing song by song, show by show. With their one-of-a-kind acoustic rock brew, the band has been unearthing fans since the release of their 2007 debut album Down n’ Out + Up n’ Rising. "Most albums have two or three superb tracks that you listen to while skipping over the rest, Down nf Out + Up nf Rising is one of those precious albums where all twelve tracks will be listened to before putting the CD away"- Drew Budwin, SublimeStylee.com.

For those unfamiliar with the Fiction 20 Down sound and curious as to what it might be likened to, Kayleigh Gelles of The Mountain Echo describes "with a sunny reggae sound, Fiction 20 Down can be compared to bands such as Dispatch, State Radio, Jack Johnson and Stephen Kellogg". But as the band’s website contends, "The Fiction 20 Down sound is something your ears have never known, but trust, it’ll have you feeling at home in no time!"
