Fiction Family is a musical collaboration between Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman and Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins.

According to Watkins, the band's name comes from the fact that "Usually when two guys make a record together, it sounds cool to call them the something brothers.

"We’re doing the final song right now, and there’s a rumor that there’s a large company that produces caffeinated beverages that might put it out in a few months.

[13] On June 14, 2011, Fiction Family performed live for the first time in months, including several songs which would eventually appear on the new album: "My Girl", "Damaged", "Reality Calls", and "Against the Wall".

On October 14, 2012 it was reported through Twitter that the newest album, tentatively titled Fiction Family Reunion, was available for listening on SoundCloud.

Land Of Broken Hearts and MySwitchfeed, two Switchfoot fansites, called for fans to respect the band's privacy by deleting or not distributing any music files from the leaked album.
