5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Boys Making Kick-Ass Music, January 8, 2005

By	Lady La (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

I had the privledge of seeing this band at Don Hill's last summer and was blown away. Their music is catchy, rocking and hip. The Adored are fantastic performers with impeccable style and infectious energy.
Got the EP today and proceeded to dance around my bedroom in wild abandon. Loved the addition of Pete Shelley of the Buzzcocks on "TV Riot" and "Sex is in Fashion." Quality disk. Can't wait for their first full-length!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a band that puts the PUNK in dancepunk, March 24, 2005

By	Get Smart (West Coast) - See all my reviews

This is one of the best releases I have heard in a long time. 5 songs, and they go by way too fast. The comparisons to the Buzzcocks is very appropro and they have the seal of approval with Pete Shelley singing prominent backing vox on 2 tracks (tv riot and sex is in fashion). With all the talk nowadyas of "dance-punk/disco-punk" i wonder where the "punk" is in most of the bands who get this tag. The Adored definitely have the "punk" energy/angst while maintaining super catchy dance rhythms that doesnt fall into the trap of sounding like another "angular staccato guitar riff disco punk band". The songs are well crafted and well played. A good high energy band to see live if you get the chance. Supposedly there is a full length out in the coming fall and that record, if it holds up to the quality of this ep, should put these guys on the music map. It's a shame they arent already there as this record is better than most similar bands' overhyped releases you will hear. SOLID

5.0 out of 5 stars If you have good taste, then you will love this album, March 15, 2005

By	Kristin "Flicka" (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews

Looking for a hot new band with hot new music? Then I recommend The Adored. They are about to be as huge as their egos. These catchy, pop, dance songs are a guilty-pleasure you do not have to feel guilty listening/dancing to-- these guys are truly great musicians. Enjoy this album, check out their shows and keep an eye out for new music soon (www.rocktheadored.com).
