More About Fiasco:
They're not out of high school but they've already been through the press circus. They've never gone on a major tour but their Brooklyn shows at d.i.y. spaces still hit overflow capacity. You could blame it on the hype, but Fiasco never would've left their parent's basement if these kids were just another garage band.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Jonathan Edelstein (guitar / vocals), Lucian Buscemi (bass / vocals) and Julian Bennett Holmes (drums) hit a universal nerve in the noise rock continuum; it's a sonic sweet spot that's apparently everything for everyone. Impose Records signed them "because we loved the hardcore influences of the early 90s they recall - and were born in." The trio formed in 2005 at the tender age of 14 and by 2007 were self releasing their own records.
Fiasco also play regularly throughout the tri-state area with their d.i.y. brethren - 2008 alone has seen them share the stage with No Age, Casiotone for the Painfully Alone, High Places, Pony Tail, Parts & Labor, Kimya Dawson, Aa, Yacht and label mates Team Robespierre, to name a few.
Having just finished recording in their basement (mastered by Josh Bonati of Aa), Fiasco will release their instrumental sophomore record, Native Canadians, in a special vinyl CD packaging. The spastic anthems that recall their heavy rock antecedents are fully present, but Canadians also showcases their technical prowess and instinctual sense of melody and arrangement. It's an early collector's classic for a band burning with possibility and currently blowing up.
