About Me

More than music! It was a haircut...
Nah seriously. Adhesive was a swedish political punk/hardcore band with a lifespan from 1994-2002. We played several shows in Sweden, throughout Europe and even made it to Canada. Twice!

This site is operated by parts of the former Adhesive-collective so feel free addressing questions and such through this forum. This site is dedicated to the the lovely people who supported us back in the days, you know who you are, as well as to people, new to the music we documented. Enjoy!
