Fighting Fiction release their debut EP A Lesser Of Two Evils on November 16th through Dead Planet Records, a collection of songs written in anger and sung with passion.

Described as a powerful collision of indie rock guitar riffs, reggae tinged punk and socially aware lyrics the EP will doubtless draw comparisons with London Calling era Clash with the lyrical wordplay and vocal delivery of Billy Bragg.

Borne of a mutual passion for live music and energetic performance, Fighting Fiction formed in late 2007 in Bristol when the four lads met at University. Drummer, Rob Ballingall explains why the group clicked. ‘Going to gigs together when we were getting to know each other just got us talking about what we enjoy about music…  a massive part of it is crowd participation, we love hand-claps and sing-a-longs, call and response… It’s just a rush to get the audience involved’.

The band have completed a 30+ date tour across the UK this summer, supporting the likes of This Town Needs Guns, Laura Marling, The Automatic and securing slots at both the Isle of Wight and Isle of Man TT festivals.

The debut EP ‘A Lesser Of Two Evils’ is released on the 16th November 2009, available on iTunes and Limited Edition CD.
