Biography:
The Fiction We Create’s inception started in the late summer of 2023. Where members S. Gallows (ex-29 Needles, ex-Punch Cabbie, ex-Code Name: Phoenix) and Chris Bryant (ex-B.I.V, ex-Code Name: Phoenix, ex-Now Its Dark) were wanting to create a project that was unique yet accessible, brutal yet melodic, and everything else in between. In doing this, they honed in and created a sound fit for fans of Bad Wolves, Ice Nine Kills, Black Veil Brides, and Motionless in White. Rounding out the lineup is Mel Flowers (The Waterfall King, ex-Orinoco), Lex Etc (ex-B.I.V), and James Flanders (ex-Don’t Think Twice).
The Fiction We Create consists of the powerhouse players from the local midwest bands: 29 Needles, Punch Cabbie, Code Name: Phoenix, B.I.V, The Waterfall King and Don’t Think Twice.
