Edinburgh-based three-piece funk band High Fade are set to release their debut album 'Life's Too Fast'.Capturing the raw, on-stage energy that has been the driving force behind High Fade's meteoric rise was never going to be easy, but that's exactly what Harry, Oli and Calvin set out to do with a clear creative vision to record their album live at the iconic RAK Studios in London.'We recorded in RAK Studios, with the desk built for the Rolling Stones in '76, with the same cigarette burns still on the faders. It instantly had a vibe of raw energy and liveliness to it that matched the way we wanted to record - live.' - CalvinThe result? 'Life's Too Fast' - a blistering 10-track debut from one of the UK's most exciting bands that manages to deliver the same tight, groove-laden funk rock that has put the group on the radars of Jack Black, Cypress Hill and Rage Against the Machine's Brad Wilk, has seen them tour with The Cat Empire, and tick off iconic venues including Glastonbury, Jazz Cafe, and Boomtown Festival.'We decided to record the album live rather than through the normal single track overdubbed method - we felt this would help to fully convey the band's power, sound and energy across to the listener! More like we're playing a gig and having it recorded - it was a tough process, but we went about it in the best way for both us and the audience, to ensure they're getting the most authentic High Fade sound and experience possible.' - OliHaving spent much of the last three years on the road seeing to a punishing tour schedule, 'Life's Too Fast' is a chance for the band to stop and take stock, to reflect on their whirlwind success, and create an artistic milestone that demonstrates who High Fade are today. 'It's the most accurate representation of what High Fade is, what we sound like, and who we are' explains Harry. Telling a clear story that matches their own experiences over the last few years, the album is a snapshot taken by a band who are accelerating towards real success and recognition.'I'm glad we finally have a body of work that we're proud of and feels like a collection of songs that nicely represents where we are right now. It's organized chaos and shows that we like to play, but can also write a catchy tune.' - CalvinLaunching into proceedings with the effortlessly uplifting 'Take Me To The Floor', every track is a demonstration of the band's technical prowess and broad sonic palette. A forward-facing selection of completely original material, the album also gave the band the opportunity to re-imagine fan-favorite 'Sharpen Up' as a stripped-back cut that reflects the band's current lineup.'Honestly, I kinda feel like I could explode with excitement about getting it out for everyone in the world to hear because it has been a long time in the making! A culmination of what all the singles have been working towards! I guess the album represents us and the direction we're taking the music, it represents us as a trio and the gel that is High Fade.' - OliFrom the current live favorite 'Bone To Pick' to the laid-back vocals and stripped-back vibe on 'Sometimes I Wonder', the expansive influences brought to the table by each member is clear; whether that's leaning into the funky lead guitar rhythms of '666 999', the more indie-inspired 'Pick Me Up', or the classic rock of 'I Hate This Road', the consistently high quality musicianship is reflective of the live shows that have helped the trio galvanize a truly global fan base.
