AF - Mark and Ferg
in the rain

Audio Fiction's music "crosses between Blondie, No Doubt and The Pretenders." But the lead singers are a natural brunette & blonde, and their aesthetic shines more like the bastard step-child of Blondie and Evanescence. 80�s retro chic made cool.. While it is impossible to pin this band down with just one style and genre, there is no doubt that this band is truly original. Gothamist says 'They put on a kick-ass live show!". Don�t believe it? Come see them play!!

Since Audio Fiction's auspicious debut performance in early 2003, the band has been making a name for itself throughout New York City and the nation, putting on dozens of energetic live shows, and releasing its first EP, Songs in the Key of Orange Alert, to wide national acclaim.

"Their energetic set was easily the highlight of the second evening. Imagine what'll happen after they've actually been together awhile, and the mind begins to reel." Score Magazine, on their first performance at Le Bar Bat in early 2003:

Reviewers, fans and people who know good music describe Audio Fiction's sound as throw-back power-pop-rock-punk, a la the Pretenders, Blondie or Garbage, with catchy riffs and deceptively serious lyrics. Audio Fiction prefers a more metaphorical description: they offer you cotton candy, then kick you in the teeth, all while you're dancing.

Audio Fiction's songs range from sardonic indictments of the Bush administration, as in the band's pop single "Tick Tock" ("Life is good/if you're on the right side./Tick tock.../I am the American psycho") to deep laments on lost human connection, as in the smoky jazz-infused "Impenetrable" ("I wish I were/Impenetrable/I wish this world/were Invincible/I wish the ground/were as wide as the sky/ I wish I had/no reason to lie").



Over the last two years, the band has been featured in The Village Voice, Curve Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, GO NYC Magazine, She Magazine, New York Post, New York Daily News, to name but a few. In his rare moments not playing drums, Mark has become a favorite of the New York gossip columnists from the New York Post's Page Six to The Daily News Rush & Molloy columns, getting snagged for everything from his appearance in HBO's new "Taxicab Confessions � New York, New York", to a run-in with The Strokes and Drew Barrymore. All this press has garnered the band a bit of notoriety, grassroots interest, and headline gigs at New York City's top venues and beyond.

Audio Fiction hopes to build on this success. The band are hard at work in the studio working on their debut album to follow up on the success of their EP,expect a release sometime in 2007.
