Our EP was reviewed in May's Playmusic Magazine (although there's a typo as they refer to us as 'Action/Fiction' in some points!)  Our track 'Missing Control' is also on the covermount CD.  The magazine can be bought at all good retailers now!

Fiction/Action - Fake Love Real Jazz (4 Stars out of 5)

"A Strong accent in music is always, always brilliant. Fiction/Action's EP, Fake Love Real Jazz, opens with 'Missing Control', which you can hear on this months cover mount, and a distinct Scottish accent. Brilliant. Taking on a secret agent theme tune for the intro, it turns into a brutal cross between Biffy Clyro and Fugazi, with a smattering of early Idlewild.

With a half-spoken verse, it soon turns into screaming bloody murder during the chorus, while the guitars complain noisily underneath. Clashing melody with outright fury makes this a brilliant opening track.

'DCKNS' is a lot slower and a lot more considered. Building up from a simple arpeggio idea with added guitar lines, it shows off a competent vocal prowess and comes across, again, as the calmer side of Biffy. With little twisted guitar parts springing out, it's a melodic treat.

'Red Read Red' starts with the kind of echoey guitar part that leads to the roads U" tread as well as being en vogue right now, for whatever reasons. It's soon backed by a driving distorted background. With the vocals breaking up authentically during the heavy chorus, it all sounds convincingly angry and atmospheric.

It's always a good sign and a good idea to see a diverse set of tracks on an EP. It helps identify the band's sound and allows them to stop themselves getting hemmed in by expectations.

As an EP it's well worth a listen and really adds Fiction/Action to my ones to watch pile. Encouraging stuff." By Brad Barrett
