About adicts
THE LONGEST SERVING PUNK BAND WITH THE ORIGINAL LINE UP The Adicts began life as the Afterbirth & The Pinz, in their hometown of Ipswich back in late 1975.. They scored many Indie Chart hits in the Eighties, and are unbelievably still together, and still making great music, with the same line-up Keith Monkey Warren, vocals; Mel Ellis, bass; Pete Dee Davison, guitar; and Michael Kid Dee Davison, drums - to this day.Newer members are John Scruff Ellis (Mels brother) guitar & Dan on violin. I think we all started for different reasons, recalls Monkey, of their distant origins. Pete and Kid moved to Ipswich from Sunderland were already playing on their own, using pillows for drums in the front room. Mel had just failed the audition for Nick Kershaws band (too tall apparently) and I was a punk without a cause. Exactly what year that was may vary depending on who you talk to. Some say 75, some say 76. I think I have a flyer from March 76, but before that we had played our first show in a scout hut in Aldburgh, Suffolk - not exactly top of the list for all time top punk venues! We strung a rope across the room to keep the crowd back and had a motor bike for a lighting rig. As far as our musical education goes, I think Pete took music at school, and Kid just liked to hit things. I dont know where Mel got his talent from but it seems to run in the family. I still cant play anything. 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 very much apart from the rest of the genre...

Can you add more info?
Add some links to their website/MySpace, a description of the band, a pic etc.

They sound good to me

Every kid plasters an Adicts patch on their jackets and wants to be taken seriously. Mostly posers do that. They are good, but all these posers punks i've come across like the adicts and no other punk bands, claiming they themselves are punk.

I think the band with the most people traded in and out was Black Flag, but thats just me.

Love my insanity:

It's really the Misfits, Sex Pistols, The Ramones and The Clash which get flogged for making someone "punk". But moving on...yes, I do like them, but have only heard a handful of songs. I used to have one of their EP's on my computer

i love The Adicts they are my second favorite band i guess you can say

my favorite songs are
Johnny Was A Soldier
Get Adicted
Sound of Music
and some more

the adicts are fun. i saw them last september and i'm seeing them again in a few weeks.

I ahve The best of Adicts, but Im not really a big fan.

seeing them with the misfits in two weeks.
i knew they seemed familiar, so i checked their concenrt listings and there they are, at the funhaus on november 2nd.

yea i kno what you mean..
then you ask what other bands they like and they end up saying poser bands that well never make as good music. LOL
cuz the adicts, the ramones, the clash, the misfits and a couple more are like the default bands that posers go to.. then they claim to be fans since forever and that pisses me off

sooo yea

come on guys, why can't you just get over this "poser", "fake", etc. kick? it's just music, and they're just people. it's real music, they're real people, they just have different tastes than you do.

Holy cow I love Chinese Takeaway

sorry if i offened you at all, i didnt intend to make anyone mad
but i just meant to say because those bands are so well known that people say that they are their favorite bands without knowing what they're really talking about
