Pairing the sweet harmonies and catchy pop melodies of Elliott Smith and The Byrds with the coarser, rhythm-driven sound of Joy Division and The Pixies, Fraction’s output is varied and always interesting.

"Cue Fraction and we experience a bigger, fuller but still subtle sound, that cues up trademark Mancunian atmospherics with compelling melodies and sweeping, orchestrated epics. They have the feel of Elbow but avoid any direct comparisons with a rockier, possibly more direct edge." - manchestermusic.co.uk

" ‘Ships Will Wreck’ is an enticing four minutes of fractured elegance. It’s Radiohead at peace with the world, delicate harmonies whispering us to sleep while guitars and xylophones tip-toe by taking care not to break the slumber…" - soundsofthecity.org

Nearly there!

In what can only be described as "incredible periods of inactivity" the two naughty boys behind Listen To have finally got their fingers out and created the all new Listen To Manchester. Over the next few months we'll be adding loads of new features, but we'd love your help with the site as it stands right now.

So if you spot any problems, or have anything to say at all about the new site (comments, criticisms, great ideas that we can steal and become millionaires with) then get in touch!
