The Fades’ new single, "Missed the Point," is an exhilarating throwback that blends post-punk garage rock, offering a refreshing, rebellious twist on modern music trends. Released as part of the Special Anniversary Edition of their Social Misfits 20 album, this track exemplifies the band's signature sound, merging gritty indie rock with the raw power of stoner and hard rock.
Clocking in at 3 minutes and 31 seconds, "Missed the Point" showcases The Fades' ability to deliver biting commentary on contemporary culture with a swaggering, irreverent attitude. Lyrically, it captures a sense of frustration with today’s trends, delivering a dismissive missive that resonates as much now as it did two decades ago. The track’s driving rhythm, fuzzed-out guitars, and sharp, sarcastic lyrics mirror the energetic and often confrontational nature of the post-punk genre, while maintaining a sense of humor that has become a hallmark of The Fades’ songwriting.
Describing the production, the band says it’s "like someone fired a surf-punk into the sun at warp speed while a heavenly choir rejoices." It’s an apt description: the song’s relentless pace and chaotic energy are matched with a touch of surreal beauty, creating a truly unique vibe. There’s a deliciously retro feel to the track, but with a modern edge that gives it lasting appeal. What do you also say, after listening, drop your contribution in the comment session below....
