Fiction Records

Other artists who were part of the Fiction roster and publishing catalog during this time included Billy Mackenzie & The Associates, Candyland,[4] The Purple Hearts, Cult Hero and The Passions.

A benefit concert called 'Great Xpectations'[5] was held in support of the station on 13 June 1993 at Finsbury Park in London.

In January 2004, Joe Munns, Paul Smernicki and Beastman revived Fiction to "give Polydor a bit more of a guitar stronghold",[citation needed] as their roster then consisted mostly of pop acts.

[citation needed] In January 2014, Universal Music Group restructured Fiction as a standalone label, removing it from Polydor's corporate affiliation.

The current Fiction stable includes Tame Impala, The Mysterines, Death From Above 1979, The Maccabees, Spector, HEALTH, Mini Mansions, Fryars, Kate Boy, Meanwhile, Palace, The Amazons, Another Sky, The Big Moon and Kaiser Chiefs.
