Fiction Factory

The story

Fiction Factory were a Scottish new wave band from Perth. Formed in 1982, they are best known for their single "(Feels Like) Heaven", which peaked at No. 6 on the UK singles chart. The band originated from members of the ska group the Rude Boys, with the core lineup consisting of Kevin Patterson (vocals), Eddie Jordan (keyboards), Chic Medley (guitar), Graham McGregor, and Mike Ogletree (drums). Fiction Factory’s sound combined melodic synthesizer textures with introspective lyrics, characteristic of early 1980s new wave music.
