Beyond The Fade is a new rock group from Charlotte North Carolina who burst onto the scene in early 2007. With founding members Brandon Strickland and Tristan Lear's love of music their main goal was to get their original music to the world and tell their story.

Beyond The Fade's music consists of catchy choruses, searing guitar leads, tight rythms and emotionally fueled lyrics taken from life's experiences. An intense and loud performance leaves fans loving these guys and wanting more.

In early 2008 Beyond The Fade added members, Jon Woodward on bass and Mike Farmer on drums. Shortly after they began creating there first album and recorded a five song demo. They began playing shows locally and quickly became the buzz around town. They played a local talent show and when asked by a local news paper what they were trying to do with there music they replied "We want people to get a feel for how much talent there is in this area” said Brandon Strickland, lead guitarist for Beyond the Fade. They were featured on New Rock 106.5 the Ends, local 90 Minutes and 93.3 The planet.

In late 2008 due to personal issues Tristan left the band leaving the remaining members shocked. They began auditioning new singers. But in December 2008 Tristan rejoined the band and they were more focused and became closer than ever generating a force to be reckoned with. Fueled by brutal honesty, heart ache and realtionship problems the band began writing and recording there first full album Black And Better Days.

Beyond The Fade is made up of five guys who love music and have the passion and drive to make it in the music buisness. They are down to earth people who love their fans and are always up to having a good time. They want nothing more than to have there music heard by the masses and to live their dreams.
