Rob Acda Awards 2004

We came up third at the Rob Acda awards in Haarlem. We congratulate Halifax with becoming first. Here's what the jury said about us:

"The music of Fertile Reality comes directly from the eighties. One should think they only make this kind of music in England. The voice of the singer matches the music very good. The band practiced a lot, and that can be heard, but it sounds very studied this way. it could be more raw. Though not entirely convincing, the melodies give a nice start. It doesn't get boring, but it isn't really imaginative. The presentation is a quite stiff, but fits the music. The charisma of the singer is OK, and his little dance is commandable. Show and compositions need some work, but if New Wave gets to become a hype again, there are certainly chances for Fertile Reality."
