“My Fiction should lead the next wave of Aussie festival faves.” Rolling Stone

Things are really starting to happen for powerhouse four-piece MY FICTION. But if you have been around their hometown of Brisbane, Australia anytime in the past year, you could see it coming though – the buzz steadily building, the shows getting bigger, and the band growing in confidence.

Their sound? It’s indie rock without the baggage. My Fiction know what makes people move, and how to connect. The big guitars, bigger melodies and powerful bottom end all combine to make something immediate, but with depth. Lyrically powerful, their songs leave plenty of room for emotional connection.

As Rolling Stone recently put it: “My Fiction's music brings to mind less the sun-drenched suburbs of Brisbane and more the cold streets of London. Galloping drums, Morrisey-tinged vocals and Eighties synths butt up against grungey guitars and muscular delivery. Whether this juxtaposition of shoe-gazing and youthful enthusiasm works is academic, because My Fiction can really write hooks.”

Since the album’s release in 2010 the band has:

Been invited by A&R Worldwide to showcase at this year’s MUSEXPO Los Angeles. The band has already secured airplay across the USA (including KROQ LA) in advance of the band’s maiden trip there in May.

Just recently the band debut at #139 on the CMJ College Music Chat Top 200 in the USA.

Out of 15,000 entries from across the globe their single ‘Every June’ has been selected as a finalist in the International Songwriting Competition 2011.

This summer the band has performed at top Australian summer festival Good Vibrations and have toured with The Butterfly Effect.

Lead single ‘Every June’ was added to rotation on Triple J and topped the AMRAP charts as most ordered track to national community radio.

The clip for ‘Every June’ received airplay on tastemaker program Rage (featured as ‘Indie Clip of the Week’) and Video Hits across multiple weeks.

‘Every June’ picked up the Courier-Mail People’s Choice Award at the recent QSong Awards

The band launched the record along the east coast – including a sold-out Brisbane show at The Zoo.

My Fiction invited to showcase at the BIGSOUND 2010 industry event and festival.
