The Faders
British female pop rock band
The Faders were a British female pop rock band, formed in January 2004 by Polydor Records. Bassist and keyboardist Toy Valentine and drummer Cherisse Osei were the first members to get through the first audition. Frontwoman and lead guitarist, Molly Lorenne (daughter of Midge Ure and Annabel Giles), was later introduced to the band by a mutual friend, completing the lineup.
Members
Molly Lorenne (born Molly Decima Ure, 7 March 1987) – lead vocals and lead guitar
Toy Valentine (born 4 July 1985) – bass, rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals, songwriting
Cherisse Osei (born 23 December 1986) – drums, backing vocals
Career
After signing to Polydor, the band released their debut single, "No Sleep Tonight", which reached No. 13 in the UK Singles Chart, in March 2005. Their second single, "Jump", came out a few months later and reached No. 21. In April 2006, weeks before the third single "Look At Me Now" was released, the band was dropped from Polydor. The band made fun of this fact by wearing slogan T-shirts saying "Polygone" in a style mimicking the Polydor logo. With various members of the group not wanting to look for another record deal, news of the group splitting appeared on their MySpace page, mailing lists and official forum on 6 July 2006.

Why this record matters
“The Faders” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Faders, British and female provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q520092. The first chronological checks are 2004, 1987, 1985 and 1986.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
