If you can imagine Joy Division fronted by The Fall's Mark E Smith then you may have some idea of how Fade To Sepia sound. The band's demo, titled simply CDR-004, rumbles with thumping Joy Divison style basslines whilst the vocals of David Duell, whilst not imitating Smiths style directly, do bear an uncanny resemblance. On other songs I also hear elements of Big Black and Silverfish. It's fast, furious and frantic stuff whilst the only band I can compare them to directly at the moment is Sarandon. Whilst not sounding the same the method of execution and the final results are comparable.
Highlights for me are Nacht Vision and the superb The Veteran which sounds like The Slits "New Town" in places. If you are a fan of post punk era then this will be right up your street. If you are not a fan you soon will be!
