With warming instrumentals and heartfelt lyrics, the band explore the anxiety of growing up and feeling like you're growing old all too quickly. Lead singer Evan Jones says: "'25 is a really personal one for me. When I wrote this song, I was having this massive anxiety that felt like some sort of impending doom was approaching. That life was moving around me as I was deteriorating and never getting anywhere I felt like I should be. Kind of like a mid-life crisis, but at 23! With a quite dark subject matter, we wanted the melodies and instrumentation to be as uplifting, energetic and fun as possible."

With a series of singles out, Fading Blonde are becoming one of the most exciting bands to come out of the Nottingham.
