Adelleda

Herkimer Street (2011)

self-released


Few modern bands capture the generations of punk rock that Adelleda does. With band members' ages ranging from 20 to 30, a wide array of styles are met. With the older crowd bringing in influences from bands like Black Flag, Descendants and NUFAN among others while the younger crowd brings in the influences of Rise Against, Strike Anywhere and many, many others, the group achieves a delightful blend of new and old school, with all of it feeling very genuine.

Herkimer Street was recorded in a living room on a street sharing the same name. Recorded live off the floor the record shows a certain enjoyable and electric feel. Many songs jump back and forth through fast and melodic parts to even breakdowns and clean spots. The record takes any listener on a intense ride through all these generations of punk, where literally any fan of every genre will something in here to hold on to.

It's a impressive debut for a bunch of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada musicians who've only been a band for about six months. I'm looking forward to seeing the band live, judging by performance videos they give it their all, with hiighly energetic shows filled with amazing guitar solos, screaming breakdowns and good ole hardcore bouts of attitude.

If you're looking for something completely different or something refreshing to listen too, the band has offered this record free for download until the CD release show later this month with Canadian legends Chixdiggit. Feel free to check them out at any of their social media websites
