we will not forget

Hailing from Bristol, indie punkers Fighting Fiction bring politics to the table on their latest single We Will Not Forget which is released on May 3rd to coincide with the UK election.

We Will Not Forget is not, however, intended as a two-fingered salute to the establishment in the traditional sense of some punk music, rather as a way to incite some pride and anger into a generation coming of voting age. The stress is on the power of the vote in this song, it’s not a call to Anarchy; rather a call of responsibility. To put your politics into action, whatever they might be.

Fighting Fiction formed late 2007 in Bristol when the four lads met at University. Bourne of a mutual passion for energetic live performance, their sound is a powerful collision of Indie-rock guitar riffs, reggae tinged punk and socially aware lyrics. Theirs are songs written with anger and sung with passion.

On We Will Not Forget, Fighting Fiction evoke memories of an angry Billy Bragg amidst a powerful cocktail of stomping guitars, bass and drums.

Here is a ‘live’ version of the track,
