The four-piece from Leicester consist of long time friends Chris Holloway (vocals / guitar) and Ben Allen (guitar / piano / synth), alongside more recent members Rich Herrington (drums) and Robb Sheppard (bass / vocals).

Comparisons have been drawn to the likes of early Mansun, Doves, Mew and Soulwax, and the band have enjoyed supports with Keane and The Subways among others. During live performances Shortwave Fade are known for their use of sequencing, combining sampled loops, rhythms, drum patterns and synchronised visuals with live guitars, bass and drums.

The band are currently unsigned but have in 2007 released the three-track 'Cover Your Eyes' EP, as well as an earlier single 'Anything To Anyone' through Oxford-based label Shifty Disco.

More recently, Shortwave Fade came first out of 1000 acts in a showcase at online financing site www.slicethepie.com. They subsequently received funds to record and market their first album 'Deletia', produced by Gavin Monahan (The Twang, Editors, Kings of Leon). The album is scheduled for release in the early autumn, with the first single 'Leave' due on 08/09/08.
