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] In the same year, they returned to Slam Dunk, Hit the Deck, and toured the UK and Europe with Counterfeit and Tigress. [8]

The band played at the Borderline in London in May 2018, debuting a new song named "Keep Me". However, they have not released any new music since 2017 or played live since 2018, and their Twitter account has been inactive for some time.
