Celebrating Two Decades of Rock Mastery, The Fades Prove Their Timeless Relevance with Rediscovered Tracks

Hailing from England, London, The Fades have firmly planted their flag in the diverse terrain of alternative rock. As they celebrate the 20-year anniversary of their debut album ‘Social Misfits,’ The Fades have demonstrated an uncanny knack for relevancy and nostalgia with the re-release of unreleased tracks, including the stand-out ‘Missed the Point’. This track brings a refreshing mix of garage rock, indie rock, rock, and hard rock, capturing the raw energy and attitude that many fans crave.

In their two-decade journey, The Fades have cultivated a unique sound that’s both timeless and bold. With references spanning stoner rock to hard rock, they align with the resonance left by legendary artists like The White Stripes and Arctic Monkeys. This makes their latest single, ‘Missed the Point,’ particularly appealing.
