Bio
High Fade erupted onto the scene in 2018, founded by frontman and guitarist Harry Valentino. What began as a constantly evolving project in their formative years has since exploded into one of the most exciting and talked-about independent bands in modern funk-rock. Armed with viral breakout tracks like “Burnt Toast & Coffee”, “Gossip”, “Burnin” and a relentless stream of fan-favourite releases, High Fade have carved out a lane entirely of their own. With well over 1,500 shows under their belt, and relentless touring across the UK, USA, Europe and beyond, the band has built a reputation the old-school way — onstage, night after night, winning over crowds through sheer force of performance. Their rise hasn’t been gradual; it’s been explosive. From three performances in a single day at Glastonbury, to closing major stages at Boomtown Festival, and multiple sold-out tours across the UK, Europe and the USA, High Fade’s live credentials are undeniable. For a band that started busking and gigging on the streets of their native Edinburgh, the ascent has been nothing short of meteoric. Sonically, High Fade are untouchable. Drawing from funk, rock, disco, jazz, metal, punk and soul, their sound is a high-octane collision of genres — tight, aggressive, groove-heavy and impossible to categorise. It’s this fearless fusion that makes them impossible to pigeonhole and impossible to ignore. Valentino, raised on the outskirts of Edinburgh, has become a staunch champion of independence in music, openly encouraging artists to reject the traditional rulebook. Staying true to that ethos, the band have turned down major-label offers, instead choosing full creative control through their own imprint, RPN Records (“Rippin’ Records,” as fans know it). That DIY mentality paid off in a huge way. Their debut album, Life’s Too Fast, arrived to massive anticipation and charted independently in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, the USA and Australia — an extraordinary achievement for three musicians operating entirely outside the major-label system. The band are now backed by two of the world’s leading booking agencies: Wasserman Music (USA) and Arcade Talent (UK) — a testament to their unstoppable momentum on the global touring circuit. With a fiercely loyal, cult-like fanbase snapping up sold-out releases, singles, EPs and records, High Fade have shown no signs of slowing. Every release sharpens the band’s edge, every tour raises the stakes. A new album is on the horizon, and between relentless touring schedules, members Valentino, Sentance and Campbell have been locked in, determined to surpass their debut. Recorded across East Iris Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and the legendary RAK Studios in London, the next chapter promises to be bigger, louder and more ambitious than anything before it. While no release date has been confirmed, anticipation is at boiling point — and the wait is only fuelling the hype. High Fade are fast becoming one of the most ferocious touring bands on the planet, delivering shows packed with raw energy, jaw-dropping musicianship and a refusal to accept the limits of what a three-piece band can do. With over one million followers and more than 500 million views across their platforms, High Fade aren’t chasing trends — they’re building a movement, bringing fast, filthy, punk-funk to the masses on their own terms.
