Life Beyond Fiction
Life Beyond Fiction is a melodic/hardcore band from Milwaukee WI. They strive to put out the best music they can in an endless journey to find the real music and the real people that make this world. From violent breakdowns to melodic interludes, they will stop at nothing to prove to the world that their music will prevail over the processed pop you see filling the radios of our youth. With their "Resist Everything" EP just around the corner they hope to infect the local scene with a non-stop brutal live show that will leave you only wanting more.
