Audio Fiction is Kristin (vocals), Darren (Mr. Audio), (bass,keys,vocals), Charles (guitar), and Mark (Mr. Fiction) (drums).

Nestled between the worlds of music and our fictional lives, Audio Fiction delivers pop/rock at its best, blending melodic hooks and shrewd lyrics with dynamic solid rock to create their catchy songs. They've been compared to Garbage and No Doubt, but they're more like the resulting bastard stepchild of both. 80's retro chic made cool!

Upon their just released full length self titled debut album and their last teaser EP, the band has received a ton of critical acclaim in a variety of online and print outlets - from The New York Daily News, The New York Post and The Village Voice, to The Hollywood Reporter, The Deli Magazine, OK Magazine, Curve Magazine, The Aquarian, The Sun (Ireland), and Time Out New York, to Gothamist.com and Stereogum. Ireland's version of Rolling Stone, and early adopter of U2, Hot Press Magazine, featured the band and put them on their "Hot Band's to Watch".

Audio Fiction has already appeared on ABC's Good Morning America and is fast becoming a favorite in the New York Post's infamous gossip column "Page Six."

People describe Audio Fiction's sound as throw-back power-pop-rock-punk, with catchy riffs, brilliant guitar solos and deceptively serious lyrics. Audio Fiction prefers a more metaphorical description 'we offer you cotton candy, then kick you in the teeth, all while you're dancing'.

Since Audio Fiction's auspicious debut performance in early 2003, the band has been making a name for itself throughout New York City and the nation, putting on dozens of energetic live shows, and releasing their first two records to wide national acclaim. Their live show is a unique coupling of musical virtuosity and raw human emotion. While it is impossible to pin this band down with just one style and genre, there is no doubt that this band is truly original. One thing is for sure 'They put on a kick-ass live show!' according to Gothamist.com.

Don't believe it? Come see them play!! But the band would rather let their music speak for themselves. Both records were self produced by the band and released on their own label, Liminal Records.

In his rare moments not playing drums, the drummer has become a favorite of the New York gossip columnists from the New York Post's Page Six to The Daily News Rush & Molloy columns, getting snagged for everything from his appearance in HBO's new 'Taxicab Confessions New York, New York', to a run-ins with Phillippines dictator Imelda Marcus and The Strokes with Drew Barrymore.

All this press has garnered the band a bit of notoriety, grassroots interest, and headline gigs at New York City's top venues and beyond.
