We were featured in playmusic's 'Pickup' Magazine which is a free fanzine type thing they print, it's available in most music shops. Here's what they had to say about us...
"Fiction/Action - As we all know, Scotland has brought us some of our best bands. F/A are next in line...
What manner of specimen are we dealing with here?
The kind of awkward, angular, screaming menaces that Idlewild started off as and that mclusky and Jetplane Landing continued. Yes, we're talking passionate, fierce and drastically the opposite of The View. Thank the lord.
So what's the deal?
Based in Aberdeen, they're a pretty young creation - having formed last year - but they already sound ready to set fire to all our faces. Yep, that impressive. The various members had, inevitably, been playing in other bands. Wanting to get away from the "crowd-pleasing punk songs" that they used to deal in, they've now hit upon a more challenging and intense sound. Pickup certainly appreciates the move.
What have they been up to?
Pretty much taking the hard-worn route of gigging, gigging and gigging. Sticking to the local area they've still managed to pick up some valuable support slots with the likes of iForward Russia! and The Kooks. They've been asked to record a session for Channel 4 Radio and have found time to record a three track EP - Fake Love Real Jazz. It's very good.
Where can i hear 'em?
Direct your eyes towards
www.myspace.com/fictionaction where you can feast your ears upon the noise and fury of tracks like Missin Control (featured on Playmusic Issue 7's covermount CD, go get it!) and just generally check up on their progress
In their own words:
"Taking in a range of influences inculding bands such as Fugazi, Q and not U, Mclusky, Sonic Youth, Jetplane Landing, and early Idlewild, aswell as Niall's love of other art forms such as literature, art, and politics into the creative process, gave rise to many varied songs"
For:
People who feel like kicking lilly-livered indie bands in the face then dancing to raucous, energetic noise."
kev is still the sex
I may be wrong... but I think I met one of you guys outside Downtown in Elgin one night... We were all really drunk and the ginger guy came up to us and started smoking with us?
We were saying that he looked like our old Geography teacher...?
