"..... Put simply they sound like the soundtrack to the filthiest houseparty in history; a dirty booze swilling, tv smashing, bedroom trashing riot with added scuzzy guitars and pounding backbeats. Catch them before the police come round!" (karmadownload)
"They seem to have melded what is a very old school sound to the new school of punk-garage, and this is what gives them the edge" XFM
"There's a real sense of urgency about The Fades, like they're about to lose grip and slide off the edge of reason. Consequently everything has to be tightly squeezed into two minutes of howling reality.
What a fantastic record, kind of like listening to The Falls' Totally Wired after drinking six cans of red bull and watching a whole series of 24 in one sitting." (HT)(SANDMAN MAGAZINE)
The Fades – The Fades
Not Fade Away …
Words :: Nancy Roxx
Via scathing riffs and brooding bass lines, this album is raw, vigorous, wiry and enthralling from the off. With this sound, these London based lads have a genuine chance of breaking through. The Fades possess a knack for writing garage-punk with old skool ska and Police-like rhythms that relentlessly grab hold of you and, quite frankly, throttle you.
Songs like the belting ‘Get Better’ and the dirty, rolling riffs of ‘Caca’, ‘Life Support’ and ‘Fruit Machine’ are extremely infectious, putting you in the mood for a good old fashioned riot. ‘Music is Killing Me’ changes the pace temporarily, with qualities reminiscent of The Clash, oozing sincerity as “This scene is over now, over now” is sung right from the heart.
The ten songs that The Fades have chosen for their self titled, debut album are urgent, buzzing and energised, not to mention facetiously jagged and cool. It’s a dirty, full on assault; but still manages to uphold pop appeal.
The fades ‘caca’ (gene pool). Been a fair old while since we had anything by the Fades with which to worry our hi-fi with - the self proclaimed cult punk n’ rollers have just returned from three tours of duty in Italy and are set to reconvene battle manoeuvres in the indie attention grabbing wars with a free download single via gene pool. Primed just shy of the two minute thirty mark the shot in the arm wake up that is ’caca’ is a shock treated psychotic bastard that’s in your face up close and personal, both frenetic and furious this babe is ablaze with a snaring trip wired throb that blisters with a fracturing unravelling anxiety seldom heard around these parts since Nirvana’s ’slither’ near caused speaker meltdown while finding itself blessed and nailed tight to the floor by a ridiculously infectious hammer drilled chorus hook that’s both punishing and perfect. One rampant bastard of a track and with that criminally essential as though you haven’t already figured that out for yourselves.

KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES Sun 4th Oct @ Stereo, Glasgow
We have just added ##THE BLACK RAT DEATH SQUAD## to the bill
Support comes from Jack of Hearts Uncle Big Bad
"Fusing the driving stomps of classic sixties soul with the muddy yet crunchy guitars and puerile words of garage rock, King Khan & The Shrines are one of those uncommon groups who seem to live in the past and still make an attention-grabbing noise. The Supreme Genius is a retrospective of their work this century from initial 45s through to the cleaner more sophisticated efforts of their last proper album, What Is?!. Soul is certainly a key ingredient in the Shrine's psychedelic stew, though purists would balk at describing the end product as one of their own ('filthy racket' being the likely response). Fans of the 'rock 'n' soul' pedigree stretching from the Kingsmen to The Make Up and The Black Lips, however, should be more accepting, as will anyone who likes their music loud and raucous" BBC Music

i think we are lucky to live these lives we lead. to be a part of the cultural, political and scientific conversation of our time, while able to work one's way through life basically supporting oneself through their art. amazing! frustrating sometimes? yes. unfair sometimes...what isn't? know we are blessed. that is why it is imperative that we speak up. it is our responsibility for being so blessed. - joey alkes of dj monkey
