Slow Signal Fade fades to black

Indie rock quartet the Slow Signal Fade, who carved out a nice shoegazey sound on one album and two EPs over five years, are calling it quits. The Los Angeles band said in an e-mail: "No tales of bad blood, scorned love affairs or baby's mama drama here, the band has mutually decided that it was no longer possible to sustain a 'normal' existence on the always 'on the verge' lifestyle."
