future plans are to keep going. After 27 years together we might as
well.
Any final comments?
The Adicts arent your everyday punk rock band we change
every day, its like a on going thing. We are always asked why dont we write
songs like on our first album? Well after all this time that would be boring.
We dont follow trends or fashions, we have always stood apart from the rest.
Just watch out we might even suprise someone one day and write a decent song,
WHO CARES is our slogan...we still have all our punk rock values even if
they have grown stronger in most cases.And we still sell records so some
one is happy out there and thats class!
Get Adicted
