77-82 Punk Rock Team
Biography:
THE ADICTS are a punk rock band from Ipswich, Suffolk, England, founded -some say 1975, some say 1976- as The Afterbirth & The Pinz, they soon changed their name to THE ADICTS and became known for their distinctive Clockwork Orange droog image, which, along with their urgent, uptempo music and light-hearted lyrics, helped set them apart from other punk bands.
"We became The Adicts because The Pinz was such a shit name", deadpans Kid. "At the early gigs we just used to wear punk clothes, but never anything bought, like those posers who went down to Kings Road. After a while though, black came in and it all became boring, so we started to dress in white to be different, and 'Clockwork Orange' had been a major influence on us, though not for the violence, more the teenage angst..."
"The 'Clockie' thing didn't really evolve until about 78/79 'Songs Of Praise' came out in 1981", reckons Monkey. "And the image is an amalgam of many things. It may have been a conscious effort to set ourselves against the somewhat unimaginative appearance of early '80s punk bands or just a perception that looking a certain way might be interesting and entertaining."
Popular in the 1980s, they were often in the indie charts at that time. Their song "Viva La Revolution" was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Underground. It was also featured in a commercial for the E! channel advertising their reality television show Pop Fiction.
In the 1980's THE ADICTS also went through some tough times, having to change their name for television as the BBC found it offensive. The band then had a short spell under the name ADX just so they could get music played on the Radio. But the band have never stopped touring.
The band still consists of all its original members, plus Mel's brother Scruff on second guitar.
Now they have eventualy changed the bassplayer, since Mel is too sick to travel.
The music has developed into their own style, using many different instruments and colours alike and have stayed true to themselves and their beliefs. Keeping THE ADICTS Party Rolling on.
After 31 years together the band still dresses in all white while Monkey, the singer, is the Clown Prince of Performers with his daring and dashing outfits that illuminate the stage - truly The Clown Prince of Punk Rock! Along with the look come stage shows involving items such as streamers, confetti, playing cards, joker hats, toy instruments or glitter. One big celebration and One hell of a good time.
THE ADICTS have trudged on over the years with tremendous success, touring the world and releasing thirteen full length albums and eight EP's, including legendary hits like "Viva la Revolution".
2008 saw the release of their classic debut album "Songs of Praise" coming along with the rerecorded 25th anniversary version of the same album on People Like You Records. In 2009 they released the album "Life Goes On" on the same label.
In 2012, the band signed with DC-Jam Records and entered Los Angeles based D.O.B. Sound Studio's in May to begin writing and recording process with engineer/producer Derek O'Brien. The full length album, entitled "All the Young Droogs" was released in mid September 2012 to coincide with another worldwide tour.
And the band kept touring though the following years, incl playing a lot of recommanded festivals, such as Rebellion (UK), Resurrection (ES), Ruhrpott Rodeo (DE), Pod Parou (CZ), PSK (SE) , Punk & Disorderly (DE)
