'Windswept, earnest rock sounds that imagine a love in involving Embrace, Keane, Editors and Mew...' UK Music Review
Whereas many bands proclaim to have come storming from the underground, few can make this claim so literally.
The chemistry was cornered in the basement in Leicester where Ben Allen (guitar/samples) and Chris Holloway (vocals/guitar) used to meet to write and record songs. Joined by Rich Herrington (drums) and Matt Payne (bass) SHORTWAVE FADE have begun to trace an upward arc from these roots to a wider audience.
The first demo was met enthusiastically and the initial run sold out as the band set out playing venues all over the country supporting the likes of Keane and The Subways along the way.
Shortwave Fade followed up their first downloadable single 'Anything to anyone' through Oxford-based label Shifty Disco, with the 3-track EP 'Cover Your Eyes', and then at the start of 2008 won the indie/rock showcase at www.slicethepie.com receiving £15,000 to produce their debut album. Produced by Gavin Monahan (Editors/Scott Matthews/Jesus And The Mary Chain), the album 'Deletia', is now available from iTunes and other digital download stores.
EASY ... JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT MY DEBUT ALBUM '93' IS NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY OFF MY PAGE. IT HAS RECEIVED VERY POSITIVE FEEDBACK SO FAR. COME GET IT NOW AND SPREAD THE WORD!
'...'93' is without a doubt one of the most innovative and different hip hop albums to emerge this decade.'
