The 20-year-old track has been dug out as the band celebrate the two decades since the release of their debut album Social Misfits

Having delved through their archives to celebrate the 20 year anniversary of the release of debut album Social Misfits, The Fades have unearthed the excellent ‘Missed the Point’, a track that feels as relevant and engrossing as it would have back when it was written, and a testament to the enduring appeal of their sound.

The track has a swaggering confidence to it throughout its duration, with its sauntering guitar hooks and vocals providing the perfect soundtrack to a narrative taking aim at current trends that if anything feels even more appropriate today than ever. The way that their sound doesn’t feel out of place or dated at all is something to be admired, and the catchy yet hard-hitting nature of their guitar driven alternative rock sound feels timeless and fresh all these years later.
