17 Seconds Records’ latest signing!
Back in April, I blogged about a band called Casino Brag who had just self-released a single entitled ‘Viennese Disco’/'A Fair Escape.’
They are: David (Rhythm Guitar and Vocals), Ellis (Drums and Backing Vocals), Paul (Lead guitar and Vocals) and John Paul (Bass and Backing Vocals). And now, in a year that has seen them get radio support from the likes of Jim Gellatly, Vic Galloway, Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson, as well as playing in London at Alan McGee’s Death Disco night, they have changed their name to Fiction Faction and will be releasing their next single ‘Apparitions’ as a digital single with us in February. Vic Galloway mentioned this last night on his Radio Scotland show. He also played the band’s track ‘A Lot Can Happen On A Summer’s Day’ proclaiming it a future Scottish Anthem! This is the third time a 17 Seconds Records-related act has had this in the last six months, following on from the Last Battle’s ‘Ruins’ and X-Lion Tamer’s ‘Hope.’
This is the video the band made. See what you think…
Pop along and make friends at their myspace here
BRILLIANT,,,, love it, bound to be a massive hit,,,, Very 80’s ring to it (that was my era and I loved the electic stuff) keep this kinda music coming boys and I’m sure it won’t be too long till we’re seeing your 1st album being released in the shops
