				Silverbacks have hit the nail on the head with Fad. It’s a well-crafted start and works extremely well across its tight 36 minutes; the only real deviation coming in the form of a series of one-minute noise intermissions that purposefully break up the flow

				The attention Silverbacks have been garnering is well deserved. ‘Fad’ is a refreshingly different, ultra-confident debut from the Dublin five piece

				While Fad doesn’t shy away from delivering progressive social observation, for some reason it packages them in a vintage clothes store version of ’00s indie rock
