Fiction Factory, a new wave band from Perth, Scotland, was formed in 1982. The group consists of Kevin Patterson on vocals and Eddie Jordan on keyboards, who had previously played together in Street People and the Rude Boys. They initially started as a songwriting unit but eventually became a full band with Graham McGregor on bass guitar and Mike Ogletree on drums and percussion. Their breakthrough came with the release of "(Feels Like) Heaven" in 1983, which peaked at number 6 on the UK Singles Chart and reached the Top 10 in several European countries. The song was included in their debut album Throw the Warped Wheel Out, released in 1984 under Columbia Records. Despite the success of "(Feels Like) Heaven", subsequent releases like "Ghost of Love" and their second album Another Story (1985) failed to replicate this achievement. The band toured Europe supporting Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark in 1984 but disbanded in 1987 following commercial disappointments. Patterson later formed a short-lived duo called The Dearhearts and left the music industry. In 2007, Patterson and Jordan reunited to perform "(Feels Like) Heaven" at Jordan's wedding. The original lineup reformed for performances at the Rewind Festival in 2011 and the W-Festival in Ostend, Belgium, in 2022.
