Fades
You Say
CD on Genepool
Cat No: GPOOLCD01 , Stk Ref 68888


Released on: 27 August 2003



Debut single by the fades still available on cds as their new one is released this week (still on the xfm playlist ). Most popular taster on the music response chart with zane lowe and a claire sturgess session in feb.“with the urgency of the clash at their best and guitars so deep down n' dirty they'd scare even black rebel motorcycle club, it’s no wonder that the intense london four-piece have already gained the support of steve lamacq on radio 1 .playing music like their lives depended on it and then some, the fades have already been likened to a whole bunch of bands including the smiths, the manics and the hives and the buzzcocks. Definitely one to keep an eye out for.” Matt tomiak – rockfeedback.com.it would be easy to assume that the fades were just another band forming part of the so-called ‘new rock movement’™. They play garage style punk/rock ‘n’ roll and they play it loud and fast

7" on Genepool
Cat No: GPOOL004 , Stk Ref 68822


Released on: 21 July 2003



The second single from london’s fades harnesses all the best bits of the ruts, the stones, the buzzcocks and of course the clash, the fades write and perform crafted yet riotous songs with a distinctly english feel which are already attracting major label interest. Track 1, life support, is in the words of the band about being emotionally drained. Track 2, blade, was written after the singer dave read an article in a newspaper about a guy who spent months building a guillotine to cut off his own head.track 3, another song about motorbikes, is an obscure punk cover version of a creepers’ track. ‘with the urgency of the clash at their best and guitars so deep down n dirty they’d scare even black rebel motorcycle club” steve lamacq on radio 1.

Excellent! I think you got it all wrong?
The review was a bit biased man, this is a great record - if anyone is false it'll be the Libertines!!


P.s. I think that's the whole point of 1995 - it's saying it was a crap year full of tired music - "everyone's into 1995" - try listening next time?
