Sounds Like .....


'Explosive widescreen pop, like Doves at a disco lock-in.'
This City Magazine

'Breezy indie rock and that refined mellowness that turns to that driving windswept stadium expansiveness thing that bands like The Editors or maybe even Keane (back in there better days) do.'
The Organ

'All rising melodies and intensifying sound, Shortwave Fade have pulled out all the stops in what sounds like an album tailored for success.'
Vanguard Online

'Shortwave Fade prove you can compete on equal terms with anyone, if you also have an album this good.'
Manchester Music

'This is quite a debut album...File Under Stunning indie / dream rock / electronica!'
Shadders Online

'Shortwave Fade make no compromises, and that’s what makes them stand out from the pack. '
Tasty Fanzine

Eardrums Music

'One of the best bands i've had the pleasure of hearing and seeing live. If you've not heard of Shortwave Fade, make up for lost time.'
Demos Reviewed

'Wistful driving melodies, soaked in keyboards, tuneful instrumental breaks and attractive combinations of stadium driven ambition and leftfield pop.'
Manchester Music - Single Review

'Staunch Indie rock with a tweecore heart'
Subba-Cultcha

'Windswept, earnest rock sounds that imagine a love in involving Embrace, Keane, Editors and Mew...'

   About Shortwave Fade
Shortwave Fade font {colour:FF0000 !important;} 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 Rob Sheppard (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.
