Santa Monica, California, March 31, 2003 – MCA Records band Fiction Plane has joined the ranks of The Foo Fighters, Feeder, Coldplay, David Gray and others in going CarbonNeutral with climate-change business Future Forests.
Fiction Plane’s debut album, Everything Will Never Be OK, was recently released on MCA Records. The band have chosen to ‘neutralize’ the carbon-dioxide created by the manufacturing process used in the production of their CD by joining forces with Future Forests (www.futureforests.com). Having worked to discover the precise amount of carbon-dioxide released into the atmosphere through the production and distribution of recorded music, Future Forests works to both establish new forests and preserve existing ones around the world – thus “neutralizing” the environmental damage. Fiction Plane has chosen a preservation project in the Tensas River Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana. More than 1,500 native saplings, including various types of oak, ash and pecan, will be planted at Tensas River on behalf of the band.
“…the taut trio rocks on the beat’s edge, impeccably anxious but in the groove” said Rolling Stone Magazine of Fiction Plane’s major label debut, Everything Will Never Be OK which was released on March 11th. The album was produced by David Kahne (Sublime, Earshot, Sugar Ray) and engineered by Joe Barresi (Melvins, Kyuss, Hole, Fu Manchu).
For the recording of Everything Will Never Be OK, the band’s three core members, singer/guitarist Joe Sumner, bassist/keyboardist Dan Brown, and guitarist Seton Daunt, were joined by the renowned drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr. Fiction Plane’s new touring drummer is Peter Wilhoit, a Bloomington native, and protégé of fellow Indiana drum luminaries Kenny Arnoff and Shawn Pelton. Fiction Plane is currently touring the States.
