Introducing: A Fable For The Curious
A Fable For The Curious from Teesside describe themselves as a "killer-riff-ridden" band, inspired by the likes of Metallica and Guns N' Roses.
The four-piece have been together for about a year and have already released their own single Don't Say Goodbye.
Playing gigs at the 02 Arena in Newcastle and The Arena in Middlesbrough the band are now going on their own UK tour later in the year.
They then hope to extend their fan base overseas into America and Germany.
Made up of Mark O'Hare (lead vocals and guitar), Michael Heaton (bass guitar), Nigel Waterfall-Brown (drums) and Rich Heward (lead guitar and vocals), A Fable For The Curious are currently shooting a video to accompany their first single.
Vocalist Mark, said: "Inspiration for lyrics and song content comes from life and what it throws at us.
"Music is all we have that separates us from the normal day to day things we have to do. Most people listen to music to escape, we write to escape.
"No matter how you feel, picking up the guitar or whatever you play, for that moment it all makes sense. Without writing or playing, life becomes stagnant.
"The future for Fable is a long and possibly difficult career but we love the music so much we want others to too."
For the band, the best part of their career so far is the growth of their fan base: "The highlight for Fable has to be seeing our lyrics posted on a status on Facebook by someone we didn't know, that's acceptance!
"More than anything, someone who is close enough to the music and lyrics they market them as part of what they feel is all we worth it," says Mark.
Next year the band hope to release their own debut studio album and playing some concerts summer festivals.

I just thought it would fit Torchwood marvelously, and that we would have ten hours to explore what would really happen to the world as opposed to telling something like a fable or fairy tale. So it was rather irresistible because Torchwood now is
of contemporary thriller and modern-day myth, and also made the decision to write in English. Both those paths are pursued in The Tattoo, with the third-language simplicity of the prose proving especially suited to the novel's fable-like quality.
Cue the lecture, in Killebrew's Aesop's Fable way of teaching. "He said, 'Look, 150 years from now, there's going to be kids playing in a park; there's some weeds out in the outfield; this kid hits a long ball all the way in the weeds.
You know the movie is a fantasy, and to me it's like a fable but without a simple message or moral at the end, instead it raises questions because the answers aren't so pure or aren't so clear. It's like, that he has this success because of the pill

Chris Adrian fields more autobiographical questions than practically any other contemporary novelist. That’s not particularly surprising though, if you consider that Adrian is arguably the most educated contemporary American novelist: he has degrees from the Iowa Writer’s Workshop and Harvard Divinity School, and is currently a pediatric fellow in hermatology/oncology at the University of San Francisco. But I think that there’s another reason for all of the questions about Adrian’s life story. While his weird, magical fiction is not autobiographical in any traditional sense, when reading Adrian’s fiction one gets the sense of a man wrestling with fundamental, mysterious, and all too familiar questions: what does it mean to be a good person? What does it mean to love another person?
Adrian’s latest novel, The Great Night are trapped inside. In one the novel’s most brilliant and moving turns, Puck appears to each character as the first person who screwed their love life up. As Jesse Montgomery wrote in his excellent review of the novel , “When Puck appears to a character in the form of a dead lover, for example, he quite literally represents the presence of a world of pain within that person and the unpurged grief that conditions their life. …. The Great Night in Buena Vista Park? Why not Golden Gate Park, for instance?
I thought about Golden Gate Park – it’s a lot bigger and has buffalo in it, which is really exciting. It has a border on the ocean and a little windmill, all sorts of fun things. But the short answer is that if I had to walk through Golden Gate Park on my way to work all the time I might have picked that instead. But there’s something about the whole city that’s really physically striking and some places are beautiful in a way that’s kind of otherworldly. Especially when the weather and the light come together in the right way.
I live – or have lived, off and on – in the shadow of Buena Vista Park. It’s always been there, looming, looking kind of spooky in the late afternoon and at night. It was always just kind of there, as a creepy place to set a story.
You recently moved to San Francisco to become a fellow in pediatric oncology/hermatology at UCSF. Could The Great Night have existed if you hadn’t done both of those things?
I don’t think the story would have turned out that way if I hadn’t moved back and if I hadn’t started actually working at the oncology ward, as a junior, kind of playschool level oncologist. I had been working on the novel for a year or so – or trying to – before I moved back and [I was] not getting anywhere. So [moving] helped turn [that process] around; it helped me figure out what needed to happen with the story, which was that Titania and Oberon had a child who had died from leukemia. I don’t think that ever would have ever occurred to me as a narrative possibility if I hadn’t been working at the job I was working.
