the_gloaming09 Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 A Utah based band. I found about this band by another online friend who lives in Utah. I listened to them and loved them right away. I feel that their songs have a pink floyd kind of feel. They're really good. http://www.myspace.com/fictionistband Also the first chord of their song Song for B reminds of The Tourist [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KTIs2SMgRQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6KTIs2SMgRQ[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKgWVa0gVg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UKgWVa0gVg[/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] [ame= ] [/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O_o They've released TWO ALBUMS and they aren't FAMOUS at ALL, what IS this faggotry, they are literally the best thing I've heard in AGES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djibou Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 It's not bad at all. I think you can hear Radiohead's influence it this song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 great bump, almost sounds like a demo take, it's not as clean and produced which gives it a nice garagey flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_gloaming09 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 ah nice! looks like you've really gotten into them w/ all those songs listed :thumbsup: they played one show in my area, but i couldn't go. I'm hoping to next time. Actually I heard that new song about a week before they released it. I guess i've just posted nice things about the band on their facebook that one of the members has sent me facebook messages about the band and what not. I think it's pretty cool :D Also I don't know about you but the opening chord of Song for B always reminds me of Radiohead's The Tourist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how small they are compared to their quality Also I don't know about you but the opening chord of Song for B always reminds me of Radiohead's The Tourist. That's because it's the same chord :P. I thought the exactly thing actually, but just now tried it out and the first two chords are pretty much the same. It's addictively smooth.

the_gloaming09 Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 haha yeah. I even asked the guy if Song for B was influenced directly by The Tourist and he said something like the band in general are influenced by Radiohead a lot (clearly you can hear it in their sound). He didn't fully answer my question...haha. I'm really surprised that not as many people know about this band, they seem like they'd be quite popular.

the_gloaming09 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 a cover of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb... surprisingly really good! I actually found the first time I listened to Fictionist that they sounded a lot like Floyd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 the band has a rebroadcast of one of their performances in the studio here: https://fictionist.bandcrashers.com/ It was recorded at the end of September and I was able to watch it live... really good and worth it!
