Please welcome My Fictions to the Topshelf family! This one’s a long time coming and just made sense. We see half of this band just about every day and it’s been awesome hearing and seeing them grow in the greater Boston area and beyond. The band is hitting the road for some quick dates with Achilles and Like Wolves in support of their most recent output, ‘I Want Nothing’ released by Flannel Gurl Records (which you can stream directly below, or purchase in the Topshelf store). Here’re the dates:

May 18th: AS220 in Providence, RI w/ Verse

May 19th: Democracy Center in Cambridge, MA w/ The Saddest Landscape

May 20th: The Funeral Home in Buffalo, NY

We’ll have more updates on the band, future releases and plans soon — for now be sure to follow them on Facebook, Twitter & Tumblr!
