Steve Adamyk Band "In Death"

Steve Adamyk Band’s music can be described as many things, maybe power-pop/punk, is the best way to deduce it. The guys work hard, they have toured Japan, Europe (four times) and all across North American, unleashing five albums and a long list of seven inch singles. But it hasn’t been easy. Most bands, by this stage, would likely have called it quits, yet Steve has persevered. When their most-consistent lineup to date unraveled in 2016, it would have been natural to end it where it stood, but the wheels kept turning (and touring) regardless.

Steve Adamyk Band is presently a three-piece, live (with Pat Johnson of The Acorn on Drums and Johnny O of Uranium Comeback on bass) and are somehow tighter, more focused than ever, as a recent European tour proved last summer. On record, the threesome have also retained original member Dave Williams on vocals to give the songs the same vibe

Recorded by Mike Bond at Wolf Lake (Crusades) and mixed by Jesse Gander (White Lung, Japandroids) in Vancouver, Paradise is a sonically huge offering, with just the right amount of scuzz and crud where needed. 12 new tracks, including an incredible cover of “Telephone” by The Incredible Kidda Band.
