New York, NY (PRWEB) August 3, 2004 -- Audio Fiction, a NYC based female fronted rock band, announces their upcoming release of their debut album, "Songs in the Key of Orange Alert" (title inspired by the NY terror alert status under which the songs were written). The timing couldn't have been more ironic, given that a new Orange Alert status has just been declared today. Lead singer Mimi Ferraro says "Outside of Baghdad, it would appear that NYC is possibly the most dangerous place in the world" but she added "that's never a good enough reason for not living your life, otherwise they win". Added Mark O'Toole, drummer for the band " People in New York City are so used to living under an Orange Alert these days, it's like talking about the weather. Let's hope we never have to cry wolf."

The band has planned a special pre-release party for their fans at Crash Mansion w/ guests.

Tues August 3rd @ 8pm
Crash Mansion (Below BLVD)
199 Bowery at Spring St

Mastered by Mark Wilder @ Sony Studios

The record's title, Songs in the Key of Orange Alert, is inspired by the New York "terror alert" status under which the songs were written. While no other track on the EP is as overtly political as the anti-war anthem "Tick Tock," (sample by clicking the audio link below)each song deals in one way or another with the anxiety endemic to our place and time. Whether it be in context of romantic relationships ("Bless Me," "Impenetrable," "Wanna Be Wild"), employment ("Don't Do It"), or all-purpose existential angst with a New York time-crunch twist ("Race the Hourglass"), what all the tracks have in common is an underlying uncertainty. This, coupled with Audio Fiction's sardonic wit and tongue-in-cheek humor, make for an EP that is unique, compelling, entertaining and danceable. The record will be officially released by Liminal Records in the Fall.
