BRAVER THAN FICTION
Saw these guys last weekend at the Royal Standard in Sheffield.Get to a gig & catch them live as soon as you can.They have a great sound,part alt-rock,part bluesy folk.They played a fantastic set of original songs.finely crafted,played superbly & all set off by the uniquely powerful & beautiful voice of singer Mel.The other band members are Adam (bass),Paul (drums),Jason (keys) & Martin (guitar).(sorry didn't get you in pic Martin!).The band all look great on stage & look like they've been together forever,though i don't think thats the case.Highlights of the set were new song 'King of Crows',the quite stunning & very popular 'Your Little Fantasy' & a real standout for me 'Once Bitten,Twice Shy'.Singer Mel not only has a voice that'll send shivers down your spine but is also a great presence on stage & has some great interplay with the band & audience.All the band are extremely talented with Jason on keyboard really shining.Their influences are wide ranging & diverse,with bands such as Led Zep,Fleetwood Mac,Pulp,Bowie & Motown being amongst their favourites.Braver Than Fiction take all these & more to make a sound that is timeless but sits perfectly amongst the best that is around today.Oh & she (Mel) is a prolific tweeter & a very funny lady so get to know these guys as soon as you can.catch them live or find them on Twitter,Facebook or their own website.I for one can't wait til next time.MadFerret
