Review: The Fades’ single “Missed the Point” – Release date November 22, 2024

The Fade’s new release, ‘Missed The Point,’ isn’t just a new song. It’s a long-awaited addition to their discography, having been recorded years ago but never released. With their rich and storied history, the Fades are ready to unveil this ‘new’ single to celebrate the Special Anniversary Edition Social Misfits 20 album.

They are one of the most distinctive punk bands today, known for their irresistibly catchy and rebellious tunes that stand out in the music scene. The Fades, a proud product of London, England, comprises Dave Lightfoot on guitar and vocals, James Lightfoot on bass, Jonathan “Jonny” Barnard on guitar, and Alastair “Flash” Thorpe on drums. With their rebellious spirit, this band represents the best of London’s music scene and will excite any music fan.

‘Missed The Point’ is a timeless piece that transcends eras, sounding as fresh and relevant today as it did 20 years ago. So, whether you are an old or new fan, after a listen or two, you will agree that it was worth the wait.
