theAdequits are a unique blend of four different personalities and musical tastes. Their power-pop/punk-rock/male-domin ated sound, fronted by a strong female lead singer, makes for an aggressively entertaining experience--Kerry, with her sweet, yet snide vocals (imagine if you put Johnny Rotten and Whitney Houston in a blender!), Mikey terrorizing his 7-string guitars, Johnny devising scientific madness on the drums, and Robby & Russ bashing out catchy melodies on his bass... Before it fell victim to the clutches of commercialism, pop-punk actually did mean something. Because it was punk, the pop part of it had that extra passion that comes with being a teenage outcast. And you could actually hear the influence of first-wave punk bands, something that seems to elude the tenth-rate Green Day clones of today. Broward County's the Adequits take a good decade-and-a-half step back to those bygone days when the mark of the Descendents was still felt and the Ramones were more than just a name to drop to bolster one's punk cred. The female vocals of Kerry O'Connor sound more like the Pretenders' Chrissie Hynde than, say, Gwen Stefani
Sweet!
