I'm Seton! I'm Joe! I'm Pete! I'm Dan! and we're Fiction Plane!
Joe: We worked with producer David Kahne .
He sort of understood any magic things that we had in it and how to really bring them out so it was, it was amazing to hear songs which were kind of ok and then they just became really good just by getting the sounds right.
Joe: Everything Will Never Be OK is basically about... that seeking perfection makes you unhappy, and kind of learning to live wih imperfection... and that's allright and everything doesn't have to be serious and really worked out and perfect all the time.
Seton: It's good also for bands who aren't necessarily on the radio yet or don't have stuff out yet.
It' s really a good way for people to listen to newstuff . I mean I'm completely pro being able to download a half song or a song here or there if it makes a lot of people get into our music or anybody's music.
Dan: Fiction Plane was the name of an old song . We used to be called Santa's Boyfriend - that was the name of the band that Joe and I were in at high school and eventually we thought, it 's time we got a new name that reflected a fresh beginning. It kind of means a fictitous place to escape to- which is kind of what the the music is to us in a sense, so that's what Fiction Plane is about.
Seton: It was very fast once we got started, it was really really quick - it was 12 days of actually tracking the songs but the whole recording process was actually 2 months, but in the first 12 days we did pretty much all the music.
Dan: We really want to stay kind of on our own - as open as we can. Stylistically, I have a raw... there seems to be this kind of raw rock edge and then a kind of pop tinge to it. At the moment, anyway, we're really sort of song driven and it comes out like that, but
we have so many different musical influences that we couldn't really pin anything down- but this record is certainly a sort of rock pop kind of eclectic mixture of stuff.
Seton: I think the music and melody really represents that as well, because the
music is really kind of happy and upbeat but the lyrics are quite dark and that way inclined, so it's kind of , in itself is saying that by the music being happy and the lyrics not being amazingly happy is exactly what it means.
Dan: It's just a good way for us to keep in touch with people who are into the band . We've always had email adresses and had correspondence with people.
Seton: We got massive amounts of feedback from these shows we did with Something Corporate, which was a massive surprise to us that it was so much.
Joe: We found on that tour people would say they liked us on the internet on the Something Corporate site, and at the next show people would know our songs and it just kept building and building that more people knew our songs and we hadn't even got an album out or anything. You know we 've never been here before and there were people singing all the words- it was amazing!
