Call it Fiction

Call It Fiction is a five piece group out of Akron, Ohio. In December of 2005, members Elliot Blair (vocals/guitar) and and Brandon Young (drums) joined together to jam while still in high school and quickly became interested in forming a band. Nick Rinaldo (lead guitar) joined a short time after. The band went through several bassists since 2005, but finally found Alex Hylton, a former high school classmate. At that same time, Alex Tucker (synth), whom the band knew from booking shows with in the past, was asked to join as well. Stating that their influences are "everything but country," CIF plans to follow up their 2009 EP, The Introduction, with a new release on March 5th called Something I've Never Felt. Described by Blair as "poppy pop-punk," the band hopes to achieve the next level of success with the 6 new tracks. With 2011 just beginning, the band has high hopes after the release of their EP to not only take on the Ohio pop-punk scene but also tour beyond it. Since their creation in 2005, Call It Fiction has played shows with such acts as Four Year Strong, Mayday Parade, Bayside, and many more. "Our main message with our music is, people shouldn't let anyone tell you what they want you to do with YOUR life, and don't be afraid of taking risks," Blair adds. "Life is too short to not have fun, and for us, we may only have 60-80 years left, maybe less."
