Biography
Chasing Fiction was originally formed back in 2006 with members Christian Seda, Christian Hoyos, Sean Harrigan, Matt Babilonia and Chris Santoro. They released 5 song demo under this line up and played several shows for about 2 years. They decided to part ways with their original singer Sean Harrigan during the summer of 2008. Shortly thereafter he was replaced by Jerry Meehan (now the bassist in Valet Parking). Chris Santoro was asked to leave with the addition of Jerry as he didn't have enough time between school and work to be in a band.
In November 2008 Rob Glenn (Fall To Fly) joined the band to replace Chris. In December of 2008 Matt and Jerry left the band for undisclosed reasons. Seda, Hoyos and Glenn decided to seek out for other members as they continued to write songs together. In January of 2009 Joe Badolato and Steve Brady (Heart of a Lion) joined Chasing Fiction. Under this line up they recorded most of the demos for their debut EP. Joe Badolato was replaced with their current vocalist Brian Ansel in June 2009. They re-recorded these songs and released a 3 song demo shortly thereafter. Christian Hoyos was asked to leave the band of Chasing Fiction in July of 2009. Nick Tortora replaced Hoyos and they are currently recording their debut EP. Nick was then kicked out which brought up Andrew Komsic (Heart Of A Lion) and Brian Ansel was kicked out for the former member Joe Badolato to do Chasing Fictions newest E.P.
