High Fade

The funk/rock trio High Fade - made up of founder Harry Valentino (guitar, vocals), Oliver Sentence (bass, moustache) and drummer Heath Campbell (drums) - has gone from being Scotland's most exciting street-performing band to a globally unmissable name after bursting onto the scene with viral phenomena such as Burnt Toast & Coffee, Gossip, Burnin', as well as a daring cover of Herbie Hancock's Chameleon.

Sold-out tours across the UK, the US and Europe have seen the band surpass 1,500 gigs to their name, rapidly establishing High Fade as one of the fiercest touring bands on the planet.

Delivering concerts overflowing with raw energy and breathtaking musical virtuosity, they refuse to accept the limits of what a three-piece band can achieve.

With sold-out tours across the UK, the US and Europe; and standout appearances at dozens of festivals like Boomtown (UK), Suwannee Hulaween (US) and Glastonbury - where they performed three times in a single day in 2024 -, High Fade has come a long way from that Edinburgh street corner.

Drawing inspiration from funk, rock, disco, jazz, metal, punk, soul and much more, High Fade have developed a sound that bursts from a wild melting pot of musical influences and tears through the fabric of space-time by managing to be simultaneously fresh and retro.

Fiercely independent, the band release their music via their own label RPN Records (Rippin' Records), notably their debut album, Life's Too Fast (2024), which charted in the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, the US and Australia.

Not bad for a DIY independent band operating entirely outside the major label system.
