Vardo and the Boss from Colchester, England, create a sound that blends piano and acoustic guitar with powerful female vocals that echoes the female rock artists of the mid-90s such as Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple. More recent artists that VATB have been compared to are The Noisettes, Paloma Faith and Florence and the Machine.
The group are a mis-matched bunch, comprised of a singer-songwriter, a classical pianist and a rhythm section plucked from the Colchester metal scene. The songs on the new EP hint at the varied influences of the band members. From the feel good pop stylings of the opening track Im Not Sorry right through to the explosive outro of Shame. The sound that has resulted from such varying sources of inspiration is surprisingly distinct; catchy choruses, meaningful lyrics and the instantly recognisable blend.

Band/Artist of the week
“Rock and Pop lovers it is time for you to rock out to Fiction Plane “Fiction Plane can be described in one word: AWESOME! Whether its their firey lyrics or hard-hitting beats......this band will go all the long way. The songs are inspiring, powerful, entertaining and credible.
It may come as a surprise to many that Fiction Plane's Joe Sumner is determined not to cling onto the success of his famous dad.
Allegedly, the Fiction Plane press camp are banned from even mentioning a certain superstar dad - Sting - to the media.
Although Sumner’s vocals are evocative of daddy, Fiction Plane are getting on nicely doing things the proper way; becoming stars in their own right.
With cited rockier influences Nirvana and Pavement, don’t expect to be soothed by calm acoustic.
The guys are already, gathering a firm fanbase and this year they will be attending the ‘Rock en Nord’ festival in Nieppe, where they will be showcasing their skills.Check out the links and see what makes them my band/artist of the week...ladies and gentlemen....Give it up for FICTION PLANE!!
