The Fades were formed 2000 by Twickenham based brothers James and Dave Lightfoot as Petrol Bomb, later Molotov Cocktail. They became The Fades when guitarist Jonny Barnard joined the band in early 2002 after a Molotov Cocktail demo was featured on Steve Lamacq’s show on BBC Radio 1. The band’s first releases were the singles “You Say” and “Life Support” in 2003. Both songs have been played by Steve Lamacq and Zane Lowe. “You Say” was playlisted at XFM and a live session was recorded with Claire Sturgess.
The Fades released the EP “Social Misfits” in 2004 with eight songs and they were touring with Art Brut. The next single “Caca” was supported by Marc Riley, he played it on Mint and invited the band April 2006 to play a session for Rocket Science. In early summer 2006 drummer Graham Best left the band. He was replaced by Alastair “Flash” Thorpe. With the new drummer they went on tour in Ireland and Northern Ireland in June, which include a session for BBC Radio Foyle.
In April 2007 The Fades released their self-titled debut album at Dirrty Records. In summer 2007 music from the album was used for a soundtrack on a motocross and mountain biking DVD called Inevitable Descent which was released in Australia.
