Steve Adamyk Band “Paradise”
Steve Adamyk Band remains Canada’s premiere power-pop/punk crossover
group. Throughout the last decade, the band has toured Japan, Europe
(four times) and all across North American, unleashing five albums and
a long list of seven inch singles. But it hasn’t been easy. Most
bands, by this stage, would likely have called it quits, yet Steve has
persevered. When their most-consistent lineup to date unraveled in
2016, it would have been natural to end it where it stood, but the
wheels kept turning (and touring) regardless.
Fast-forward to 2019 and the band has been reborn. SAB is now
solidified as a three-piece live (with Pat Johnson of The Acorn on
Drums and Johnny O of Uranium Comeback on bass) and are somehow
tighter, more focused than ever, as a recent European tour proved last
summer. On record, the threesome have also retained original member
Dave Williams on vocals to give the songs the same vibe everyone has
grown to love. Paradise – the album itself – is nothing short of a
monster. Suitably with a new lineup, the band has also beefed-up their
sound. With their original feel in mind, there is nothing lo-fi about
this record.
Recorded by Mike Bond at Wolf Lake (Crusades) and mixed by Jesse
Gander (White Lung, Japandroids) in Vancouver, Paradise is a sonically
huge offering, with just the right amount of scuzz and crud where
needed. 12 new rippers, including an incredible cover of “Telephone”
by The Incredible Kidda Band. Keep an eye out for the band in 2019 –
Steve Adamyk Band is back and won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
