About Me


.. -- -- -- -- -- -- CDBABY LINK for THE ADDICTION: Edge Of Content --
A genre-bending blend of rock, pop and soul, The Addiction`s music is creating a buzz in the global online community, and their electrifying live performances have built a loyal and growing following throughout the southeast. Combining the radio-friendly styles of current artists Maroon 5, John Mayer, Marc Broussard and Jason Mraz with the funky pop sensibility of early influences like Prince, Billy Joel and Steely Dan and a dash of AC/DC rock edge, The Addiction brings smooth harmonies and airtight musicianship together with a direct, intimate lyricism to create catchy songs that sound current, but yet timeless.

What others are saying...
"...The songs are straightforward, easy to listen to and well-crafted. Their music is body music; it gets you up and moving...It's the kind of thing that hits the airwaves and stays there for eons...There are bits and pieces of so many different artists, yet the band still comes out with a distinctive sound...From the somewhat edgy "Identity" to the fairly middle-of-the-road soul "29 Days", the songs of Temporal Bliss have one indisputable quality: They stay in your head."
- I-See-Sound.com
"This mutifaceted local band sounds as though it were derived from Prince, Steely Dan and the New Radicals. Their songs are slick, smooth and danceable with biting, socially aware lyrics and an appealing guitar sound..."
- Critics Picks, The Nashville Scene
"What happens when you get five musicians from all over the country, add four parts pop, two parts funk, a dash of rock, and soak them to the point of saturation in soul? You get The Addiction. The Addiction is fast becoming a group to be reckoned with."
- sensored.com
"...their release titled "Temporal Bliss" surprised and pleased me very much. I never would imagine there's more than Country or Christian Pop/Rock coming out of Nashville. This fine five-piece combo of musicians sure knows how to impress...you definetly should check out this material. I can assure you'll be surprised and glad to know there are still bands with a bright future like these guys."
