The Downtown Fiction (TDF) of Fairfax, Virginia have taken their love of music, friends, and a darn good time and created something really special. Citing influences ranging from Green Day to The Rolling Stones, the pop-rock trio has a sound comparable to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Blink 182, and The All-American Rejects. On March 3rd, 2010, TDF released their first EP "Best I Never Had" to a long climb up the iTunes chart. With a blossoming number of dedicated followers on multiple social networking sites and a YouTube channel currently boasting 5,000 subscribers and surpassing a whopping 1,000,000 views, TDF is well on their way to taking over the media world.
The Downtown Fiction has been building a reputation for working hard and touring constantly alongside their contemporaries; making appearances on this past summer's Bamboozle Road Show with headliners Boys Like Girls and All Time Low, as well as the 2010 Vans Warped Tour. With a loyal fan base that just keeps growing, TDF has created a perfect experience for their fans and for music lovers everywhere, providing an entertaining live show in addition to their high-energy music. And not only has The Downtown Fiction made it their goal to road trip across America with their catchy tunes, but they've also made a point to travel the globe; hitting up Japan in the fall of 2010 with We The Kings before embarking on a full US tour as the main supporting act with The Summer Set.
In addition to their world travels, (including rocking cities with The Ready Set on the Glamour Kills Tour) and popularity-gaining EP's, TDF's music has been circling the world in another form - by being featured on some of the most popular TV shows around. Besides their debut video for "I Just Wanna Run" premiering on MTV Hits, MTV2, and MTV U; their music can be heard throughout the second season of MTV's Jersey Shore, and has been featured on other shows like The Hard Times of RJ Berger, The Challenge: Fresh Meat II, The Hills, and Keeping Up With The Kardashians. With fans across America and even in South Asia, TDF proves to be on a musical mission.

Originally started by two brothers -- Jared and Marshall Cunningham -- "Sing Me Insomnia" (SMI) began their journey as an acoustic duo, playing guitar and keyboard while sharing vocal duties. Simultaneously, Jared was creating musical bliss with Wes Beale, who was skilled on both lead guitar and bass. Soon after, it only made sense to transform the acoustic partnership into a full band, and with the addition of Jordan Depriest on drums, the group has found it's niche in the Northern Virginia music scene. Sing Me Insomnia creates each and every note with equal parts passion and talent. Despite their popularity coming with ease, this band is one of the hardest working and determined groups out there. With a large fan base of loyal music lovers (appropriately dubbed "The Insomniacs"), SMI has gained their own following and continues to progress with the hopes and dreams of spreading their love for music to as many people as possible.
