I went to a small bar show for a few bands. This was one of them that was on the bill. Never heard of them. These guys came out and started setting up their own instruments and equipment. I thought they were roadies. They didn't have the typical rock dress up.
The guitarist was toying on the guitar when the guy testing the mic said "Ready?" Then they started into this song. I WAS AMAZED!
Too bad that like many other good bands, corporate greed stands in the way of true talent.
they disbanded right after the success of that album due to disputes with their record label, right around 2002-2003 Jadhapper. Shame...I saw them do this live in Charleston.S.C. What a show it was. Serious musicians. Kicked some serious ass.
I remember this song was big on the radio when I finished paramedic school in 2002. I never did know the name of the band or the song, but it always kicked ass. I don't know why these guys aren't more popular.
Backlash is my favorite song of all time of this album. I almost got to hear it at Taste of Madison in 2002 but they had shitty rented equipment and I'm pretty sure it blew up.
One of my favorite rap-rock bands, but this is the only song I've heard from them! HEADSTRONG!!!!!!!! GET BACK TOGETHER!!!!!! GET KAZZER AS ONE OF UR SINGERS AND SONGWRITERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the fans out there, I posted some unreleased demo tracks on the YouTubes that we were working on after we split with RCA. How White, False Start and Muchas Gracias; they were meant to be the start of the next record that never was. Thanks for the support, enjoy the tracks
@JoelKrass excellent. I had found "how white" as a crappy mp3 shortly after i read about the split. Really miss this band. One of the best back in the day - also find it funny how some of the lyrics are still relevant today.
Wow. Even (almost) 10 years after it came out, stit good solid stuff! Discovered that band at an alternative tv channel at my parents' house back in early 2002. Found the album. Still listen to it in 2010.
SOMEONE help please. I had this mixtape cd with a picture of powerlines on it called wired and it had this song on it I really really really want to find it!!!!
man I wish you guys were still around.. I saw these guys live in a small bar called Sammie T's in Alabama just outside of Huntsville and they rocked the joint like you wouldn't believe. Amazing personalities and really good with their fans. All around amazing guys.. Their label made a huge mistake by dropping them. Headstrong will live forever in my heart.
I agree. I saw these guys live in Pittsburgh. They came out and set up their instruments and we thought they were the roadies prepping the stage. Next thing they go straight from mic checks into the song.
We just kind of stood there stunned. We didn't know what to think. Then, after the third song, they really were awesome to me.
Man I heard this song on 94.5 the buzz in houston... This song freaking rocks!!! shame they wouldn't make music liike this again, they would be a hit again.. Can't believe this music is from the 90's!!!
@codyjarboe1991 Lmao. So did I, like two days ago mid-day? I've been a fan of this song since and watched/listen to it like fifty times. Now why cant they have bands like this play Buzzfest? >_>
@darkmoon532 Hell ya!! but you got to remember limp bizkit played this year and even though he has a lot of haters, the biz is the shit still. I wonder what Headstrong genre is considered? its has the 90's music alternative rock sound like how nirvana, STP, and these are just examples. Love songs with the heavy guitar sound in the back like the 90's brought so often. The head nod was invented in that era b ^,^ b. Know of any other songs similar to adriana?
@codyjarboe1991 Yeah, I was at that show. LB was pretty cool. I think Seether was the best that day, even though they didn't have a big crowd reception. And 3DG sucked live as always (I don't like them to begin with, but I know when a band sucks live or not) and 30 seconds to mars only played a few songs cause the singer was fucking around the whole time. I looked them up, and Headstrong is kind of considered rap-rock/metal like Rage Against The Machine. [1/2]
@codyjarboe1991 And i've listened to their other songs and this is the heavist and gets me the most pumped. And in regards to your question of anything else that sounds like this band. Uhhh, the Deftones kind of sounds like this song and RATM. But that's all I can really think of. [2/2]
@darkmoon532 Yeah i've listened to some of the deftones, they are not bad, there really only a few songs I like that they play... Never heard of RATM? I'm going to look them up, Tool has a similar guitar sound, but not a fan of the singer though. Another band that has a badass guitar/rock sound is Rammstein Du Hast. Its german but the song freaking rocks though, supposedly its a top 100 rock song of the 90's.. I think Adriana should be in that boat because I've listend to this song so many times
man, I'm so glad to see the vid for this song! one of my all time favorite songs of the era. last make this video viral so that the band will get back together and tour :)
Thanks for the kind words...We're not making music, but we're all still very close friends, keeping healthy and enjoying life...Nice to see this little ditty still stands up after almost a decade.
This is one of my top 5 albums ever. So sad that they didn't get a change to become big

If you don't suck RCA Record's dick, you get dropped like a rock. Which is kinda hard to explain because RCA Record's are a bunch of cocksuckers.
