History & Biography
This New Jersey-based band was founded in 1987 when Hades disbanded and lasted some eight years. Dan Lorenzo and Alan Tecchio were better known for the band Hades. It had become clear during a European tour that Hades would not last and so, alongside Dan Nastasi of Mucky Pup, a new act was assembled. During the European tour of May 1989 Tecchio and Lorenzo were not getting along and the members were at odds.

Demo 1988 lead to a 1990 EP on the label of Glenn Evans of Nuclear Assault, Arena Records. The band utilized its demo tracks. Dan Nastasi left the act and ironically Tecchio joined. The band opened for Manowar and Nuclear Assault. The band’s debut arrived on Steamhammer (Europe) and Grand Slamm/IRS (USA). The label had seen the band play at CBGB’s. In The Know was promoted with an appearance at the Foundations Forum in Los Angeles. The band toured the US in 1992, opened for Overkill in the USA in 1993 and there was a tour with Savatage and Overkill in Europe in 1993 as well. The band had little success and Lorenzo and Natasi reunited under the #9 monicker. The line-up didn’t last.

New Jersey's Non-Fiction was back for one show in 2009. The band was scheduled for a one-off reunion show for Saturday, November 7th at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey. Dan Lorenzo had a weekly Internet radio show called F-Bombs For Everyone. It could be heard on Bionic Strigl Radio. Lorenzo is a right-wing Christian and has called himself "a conservative Republican."

Golden Core issued a 2-CD set of the band's material, called The Collection, in 2024. It also reissued It's A Wonderful Lie as LP.
