If you are looking for energetic and classic sounding rock then The Fades’ latest single, ‘Missed the Point’ will not disappoint. This South West London post-punk garage rock quartet has created a song full of attitude, memorable hooks, and exciting sounds. This song is timeless but it has a modern touch to it. To mark the 20th anniversary of their debut album ‘Social Misfits’ The new edition is out this Friday, remastered with three new tracks that have not been heard before.
The guitar work is strong and heavy, the drums are tight and well played, and the bass lines are groovy, and the band’s singer gives it the finishing touch with his rich voice and energetic performance. The production is clean but not overly so, which gives the song enough edge to represent the garage rock and a great bonus to fans of the genre. What is most memorable about “Missed the Point” is its cocky attitude and satire of trends. It is a song of rebellion and it would be as popular now as it was 20 years ago. I really liked this song, it’s catchy, energetic, and has all the elements of a great rock song. Regardless of whether you are a fan of The Fades or not, “Missed the Point” is a song that will leave you wanting more of their album. Don’t forget to keep an eye on them, as the album is coming out this Friday.
