I DREAMED

Praise for Stibbards' incarnation as Fiction

  • The Do-It-Yourself esthetic pays off for the band. No graphics, no song titles, no credits—everything is left up to the music and the music speaks for itself. Three tight original pop songs that would have felt at home on a late ’60s radio station.

  • Fiction is basically unknown at the moment, but it’s easy to imagine that changing soon. The three tracks on 1003 make a good case that these guys have what it takes to become Shindig! finalists. Dragging the ‘60s into the new millennium, the group combines paisley-flavoured underground pop with grimy garage rock. The hooks are there, the guitar-playing fabulously fuzzed-out, and the singing makes you want to invest in a straight-cut suit and a cheap pair of sunglasses.

    Mike Usinger, Georgia Straight

  • Fiction played wonderfully accessible songs influenced by oldies pop and ‘80s new wave. Go see these guys once and you’ll be humming their songs the next morning.

"‘50s rockabilly, ‘60s pop, ‘70s hard rock and punk, ‘80s indie jangle, ‘90s grunge and Brit pop, or the early 2000 revivalism—all have meant one thing to me: redemption."
