Fictionist is an alternative rock band from Provo, Utah, with origins in Salt Lake City and Sacramento. The band consists of Stuart Maxfield (lead vocals, bass guitar), Robbie Connolly (lead vocals, guitar), Brandon Kitterman (guitar, bass guitar), and Aaron Anderson (drums). They have toured nationally and have opened for acts including Imagine Dragons, Vampire Weekend, Neon Trees, Young the Giant, and Shiny Toy Guns.

The band began in its earliest formation as Good Morning Maxfield in 2007 and released an eponymous album under that name. Fictionist formed in their current configuration to release their first album Invisible Hand in 2009.

Fictionist won an Independent Music Award for Best Pop/Rock Song for their single "Invisible Hand" off their first album of the same name. The Fictionist song "Noisy Birds" was featured in Seasons 6 and 7 of PBS's program Roadtrip Nation.

Lasting Echo unveiled the band's first official music video which was directed and animated by artist Eric Power. The music video for the single "Blue-eyed Universe" was featured at the 2010 Tucson Film & Music Festival.

Lasting Echo was selected by Paste magazine to be the April 2010 VIP bonus album. In 2011, they received another Independent Music Award for Best Pop/Rock Song for "Blue-Eyed Universe" from their second album, Lasting Echo. The album cover to Lasting Echo was also nominated for Pop/Rock Album and Best Album Art.
