Fiction Plane is the band that I only discovered about a month ago, the only reason I bought one of their CDs was because it was cheap and they have a cool band name.
Fiction Plane entered the world under the name of Santa's Boyfriend- thankfully they didn't stick with that name. Fiction Plane made it's debut in 2001 and is still active, their debut CD 2003's "Everything Will Never Be Okay" is available on Rdio. As are 2007's "Left Side of the Brain" and 2010"Sparks". However 2015's, and their most recent release, Mondo Lumina isn't available on Rdio.
Fiction Plane is currently made up of Seton Daunt, Pete Wilhoit and Joe Sumner. If Sumner's name sounds familiar, his father is Gordon Sumner- better known by his stage name Sting. (Thanks to wikipedia for much of the biographical information in this blog.)
Fiction Plane has never had a hit album or a hit song, although they do have several great songs. Fiction Plane's CDs follow a similar pattern, the first half of each CD is pretty good, but the second half of each CD contains a lot of very average music. Here's a few of my favorite songs by them.
One of my favorite 2 or 3 songs by Fiction Plane, "Everything Will Never Be Okay":
"Two Sisters":
"It's A Lie":
The very angry "Death Machine":
"Soldier Machismo":
"You know it's easier to kill than create", "Hate":
"Cigarette":
"Angel Eyes":
"Drink":
"Talking":

Upcoming blogs in this series will be about 10 Years, Sugarcult and Shinedown.
Thanks to Rdio.com (R.I.P. Rdio!) for alerting me to the fact that Fiction Plane released new music. On November 13th, 2015 they released "Mondo Lumina", in a more recent blog I gave this new CD a B grade. It's a CD that grew on me the more I listened to it. Here's my five favorite songs from "Mondo Lumina":
"Where Do We Go From Here":
"Flesh and Bone":
"Real Life" (No video available on YouTube yet):
"Listen":
"Walk Through The Fire":
