Adequate
7 formed from a group of close friends around November 2000. Merging
diverse musical influences they found a distinctive groove-laden
hardcore sound. After a period of jamming and practice they played
their first gig in December 2000. Drawing further inspiration from
bands including AFI, Sick of it All, Gorilla Biscuits, CIV and
Shelter as well as George Clinton, Funkadelic, Zender-era Jamiroquai,
Tribe Called Quest, 311 and Ozomatli, the band continued to grow,
define their sound and play more gigs.
The band recorded a 5-track
EP in February 2000, which they released on their own
‘Breaking World Records’ label. They have recently recorded
their debut album with John Hannon at Mushroom studios, Southend.
‘Songs
of Innocence and of Experience’, released 10th February 2002,
on Household Name Records.
