Release Notes:

Adelaide is a canvas of melody & rhythm that depicts the melding of
heart-break and unwavering determination to break the chains of life
in a 21st century run-down industrial rust belt town/frozen tundra,
laced with hope, love and faith. The songs written on the band’s
debut release ‘Overtired & Ill-Prepared’, were written in the dark
basement of an abandoned house without heat in the coldest winter
months of 2003. It was recorded in the heart of the old, windowless
Heinz pickle factory under flickering fluorescent lights. The band’s
music reflects the Hope that carries the five through the trials of
the human experience, and seeks to resonate with the fragility of
it’s listeners amidst the worlds expectations to be strong and
self-sufficient. Hailing from Buffalo, NY, Adelaide is full of
promise and anticipation for the music lover. Their live performance
is gripping and implies to those watching that they should expect
more from bands that they have paid hard-earned money to see. They
demand a captive audience. The band displays an authentic interest in
their listeners that brings a refreshing glance of the humanity and
humility in a hard working musical artist who truly realizes that
without the fans, there is no-one to play for. They are passionate
and driven. They are a relevant musical voice in the noise of today’s
impersonal faux-teenage angst anthems and recycled middle-school love
poem ballads. They seek to restore faith to those who will receive it,
and to love those who are unloved. The future of this band will be
nothing short of resilient. To quote the Reading Rainbow: "...don’t
take my word for it..." Listen for yourself.
