Decades are 5 piece rock outfit hailing from the small West Yorkshire town of Huddersfield featuring Dan Carter on vocals, Tom Rowland and Ste Quinn on guitar, Mikey Brown on bass guitar and Nathan Mills on drums.

Since their inception on the UK music scene less than a year ago, they have toured up and down the country, supported more established bands on the touring scene such as “Flood Of Red” and sold out shows in the their home town and neighbouring cities such as Leeds and Manchester.

More recently, Decades have teamed with Manchester based label Audio Heart Music to release their debut self titled EP, available from iTunes and all major download sites from 02/04/11.

With a second EP already in the works, and a full summer tour scheduled to take place, Decades are certainly gaining a reputation as hard working up and comers, well worth keeping an eye on.
