The Fiction/Birthday Boyz Split 7"
Split 7" waking records 04

Never before have two bands needed each other like these two. They long to share a slab of vinyl, and here is the sweaty, pounding, burning realization of that lust. Witness and believe.

The Fiction squeeze two tracks on here, each with their own distinctive yet complimentary style. “A Strange Case…” starts the side with a brutal and direct beating. It drives straight through you, taking quiet break that gently lulls you before packing in one final punch to finish you off. Then “Inside Outsider” picks you up off the ground for a bass driven track that makes you want to shake your ass almost as much as scream. Dance destruction? Definitely. Fists waving and feet flying.

Birthday Boyz lure you in like the sirens, trapping you with a gentle melody and before you realize it your fate is sealed. You are doomed. You can only ride the waves to your watery grave as they raise you up with screams and fury and softly, deceptively putting you at ease with entrancing, circling riffs. Then it all crashes, explodes, and you are consumed. You have to admire their willingness to get a bit self-referential. This song will have you shouting their name indeed, as well as Michael Jordan’s...
