Decade are a British rock band from Bath, England. Formed in 2009, the band consists of lead vocalist Alex Sears, guitarist Joe Marriner, guitarist and backing vocalist Connor Fathers, bassist Harry Norton and drummer Dan Clarke. Encapsulated by the locution 'Loud quiet happy sad', Decade currently have two studio albums, Good Luck and Pleasantries, a self-titled EP as well as an EP they pretend does not exist.

Decade signed to Rude Records in late 2016.[1] Their second studio album, Pleasantries, was released in 2017 to much acclaim across a number of independent publications.[2][3]

History

Formed in 2009, Decade operated under the appellation Ready Set Low. This was changed in 2011 shortly after the release of their first EP, Lost at Sea.[4] The band began gaining traction in the UK festival scene, appearing for the first time at Slam Dunk Festival.

Their first studio album, Good Luck, was released in 2014 through Spinefarm Records. That same year, Decade toured with bands such as Deaf Havana, Saves the Day and Mayday Parade,[5] and packed out the room during their appearance at Slam Dunk Festival on the MacBeth Stage across all three dates.[6]

After a substantial break, Decade were welcomed back onto the music circuit with positive reception in 2017 following the release of Pleasantries.[7] This year, they have returned to Slam Dunk, Hit the Deck, and toured the UK and Europe with Counterfeit and Tigress.[8]
