About Me

Songs listed above from our full-length album "A NEW LANGUAGE" (featuring Ryan George on lead vocals) out NOW on V2 Records.
"Whats not to adore about the L.A. quartet the Adored?"
--Los Angeles Times
"Super-clean guitars, elastic pop hooks, bracing harmonies, big choruses and L.A.-centric themes."
--LA Weekly
"Irresistibly danceable power-pop."
--Spin
"L.A. punks pop like its 1999, with enough 77 and 82 to keep things interesting."
--Rolling Stone
"On the uber-catchy A NEW LANGUAGE, the tunes snap to attention like a cadet forced to march in time to skinny-tie power-pop and classic British mod-punk."
--Alternative Press
"Hyper-caffeinated rhythms and shout-along choruses... The Adored's opener is almost overpoweringly upbeat."
--The Washington Post
"Once in a good while, a nouveau post-punk band materializes, all ready to restart the riot, giving us a shaking good time in the process. Southern California's updated answer to '70s Brit-punk bands like Buzzcocks, Sex Pistols or the Jam, The Adored got it right."
--Urb
"The Adored blend post-punk and U.K. mod-pop from the last three decades, to create the years best party-starter to date."
--Mean Street
"The Adored swaggers in the same way as their songs: with genuine passion, raw energy and enough attitude to kill one of The Strokes."
--Yellow Rat Bastard
"Ramonesish perky percolating power pop guaranteed to purify your aural palette."
--Detroit Metro Times
"A NEW LANGUAGE demonstrates a fresh sound that draws inspiration from new-wave bands such as XTC and the Jam while managing to emerge with catchy three-minute pop-punk anthems that remain danceable."
--Pop Matters
"Their debut full-length, A NEW LANGUAGE, could easily be dubbed the Singles Going Steady of The New Millennium."
--Amplifier Magazine
"The Adored are picking up the retro rock flag from The Exploding Hearts and could easily carry it up the charts."
--Cube-Side.com
