Fiction Records
Our featured video this week is from White Lies (a review of White Lies is coming up). White Lies is one of a number of talented independent music artists on Fiction Records. Fiction of course is best know for being home to The Cure for over 20 years.
This UK indie label was started by Chris Parry in 1978 and since its relaunch in 2003, sports a list of independent music artists including White Lies. One way to look for additional independent music is to check the indie labels of artists you like. We plan to have a listen to Fiction’s list.
Besides White Lies, Fiction Records is now home to Ian Brown, Snow Patrol, elbow, The Maccabees, Jacknife Lee, Stephen Fretwell, Delays, Kate Nash, Filthy Dukes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Fiction records is not an independent label, they are wholly owned and financed by Polydor/UMG, artists are officially signed to UMG (not Fiction). They operate as a false beard for bands who don’t want to lose cred by appearing to join the majors. So why do they appear here on an indie music site, listed as an indie label??
