THE ADORED - A NEW LANGUAGE

The Adored's story spans the United States from east to west, being that they in Boston and eventually formed the current line-up in L.A. But their sound isn't a product of American rock roots; rather, their tunes come across as being influenced by late-'70s Brit-pop, with a splash of punk rock. Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley even caught wind of their sound and contributed to their 2005 EP. What you will find within this disc are 14 infectiously catchy tunes that can't help but put you in an upbeat mood. Perhaps the most valuable aspect of this album is its ability to make you dance! Hey, Punky McPunkerson, it's okay, to shake your ass to music like this!
