fades

The Fades are coming at you strong in 2012. As an incredible way of following up the massive “Meccano” single off the upcoming Ragnarok full-length, The Fades let you, the fans, pick the next single in a battle royale of epic proportions!

In one corner you have “Joy”, a poppy rocker that’s the obvious choice as a next single. It’s got a great melody throughout and a drumbeat that reminds me of “Jesus Christ Pose” (Which is awesome, of course).

In the other corner you have “I Love Punk Rock”, an homage to, wait for it, punk rock. It’s short, it’s sweet, and there’s lots of name dropping.

I’m partial to the latter.

Voting ends on April 1st. Remember, if you don’t vote, you don’t get to bitch when your song *cough* “I Love Punk Rock” *cough* isn’t the next single.
