The Adicts; Pete Davison 'Pee Dee' on guitar, Mel 'Spider' Ellis on guitar, Kid Davison (Pete's younger brother)on drums, Tim Hocking on bass, and 'Monkey' Warren on vocals. One of the greatest british punk bands to ever exist, formed in 1977 as The Afterbirths, then, changed their name to Pinz (after having their first gig in a scout hut in Aldeburgn, Suffolk). After that, changed their name to The Addicts, though, that name was taken, so they decided to change the spelling of Addicts to one d instead of two d's(bringing them problems, for the press judged them of being illiterate). For the following two years, The Adicts did a few gigs, though, they weren't all that great due to the lack of venues in the areas. All up to August 18th 1979 in their first London gig at the Breakneck in Camden. Signing up with Dining Out label (who were at their first gig) and produced a 4-trak ep called "Lunchtime With The Adicts" in September of 1979. That 4-trak sold more than 10,000 copies and got them to number 2 in the independant charts. The Adicts later changed to DWED Records and recorded their next record "Songs of Praise" (16 track album). They didn't have enough money, so they financed with a bank loan, recorded and mixed it in under 24 hours. During this album, they made a new look, which was around at the time. They dressed with bowler hats, white clothes and black boots taken from Alex and his friends 'Clockwork Orange' (from the movie, "A Clockwork orange"). Monkey was going overboard looking totally awsome by going joker style look, white grease-painted face with black clownlike eye make up, a grin form ear to ear and a wardrobe full of bright raggy clothes. The Adicts said they were fed up with all the bands looking the same, punk. After this ablum, they made another album in 1982 named "Sound of Music" (featuring 12 songs). After this album, they took a break, and later in 1985, they made a great album named "Smart Alex". After Smart Alex, 5TH Overture was made in 1986. Later after 5th Overture was made, The Adict's seperated. Though, in 1991, reunited, and made an album named "27". Still today, The Adicts remain. Now, they will be releasing a new album named "Rollercoaster" which will come out in April 2004.

| that was a um, interesting post.
yeah, i had heard of the adicts...no one
really told me what they were like, but i
decided to find out for myself and download
some stuff. I was expecting something a
little more hardcore...maybe along the lines
of minor threat or black flag, but thats not
what i heard. theyre pretty good though. i
like t hem. im surprised there arent more
people on this forum.... | shadowbug26 | Yeah, they are a great band. My friend was
here earlier with me, and we were both super
totally on something, so I should make the
corrections. What we meant to say was,
"If anyone burns The Adicts, they will
suffer the consequences by getting their
asses fucked by hardcore droogies. And by any
chance, is anyone on this website a
droog?" The Adicts are great, even
though your right, their not hardcore punk.
Their regular punk. | ILoveSidVicious | Yeah, they are a great band. My friend was
here earlier with me, and we were both super
totally on something, so I should make the

Their punk. | ILoveSidVicious | question: dont yell at me for asking, just
answer....whats a droogie? | shadowbug26 | Why would I yell at you? Now, droogs are
people that dress with white clothes and wear
boots and bowler hats. If you have seen the
movie, "A Clockwork Orange",
you'll know what I'm talking about. Well
actually, the picture on top of The Adicts,
the people behind Monkey are a perfect
example of how a droog looks like. It's just
a way of dressing. Take punk for example (The
Casualties). It's just a style. | ILoveSidVicious | oh ok, i get it. thanks for answering.
they must have to eat awfully carefully...ya
know, with stains and all....
heh heh, nevermind... | shadowbug26 | | Yeah, I bet! | ILoveSidVicious | so is there any meaning behind the name
'droogie'?
AND...are there any beliefs/politics that go
along with it? Usually punks are very
liberal and fun stuff like that (except for
those damned conservative punks...but they
dont count anyway ^_^ ), so its more than
just a style. Is that how it is with
droogies or is it just a style?
im curious.. | shadowbug26 | | The addicts are really good | rancidfreak99 | Yeah, droog is a style. It's also a way of
life. Most droogs live getting fucked up by
doing drugs and drinking. So in other words,
it's a way of life, and a style. | ILoveSidVicious | my friend said she met a droog...he had the
white clothes and hat...but she said his
friends were in different colors. theyd be
dressed in all purple, or all blue.. can you
be a droog in colors other than white? | shadowbug26 | Yeah, the fruity ones. Usually, droogs are
dressed in white, or in black. | ILoveSidVicious | | haha..fruity ones. thats cute. | shadowbug26 | | Yup it is... | ILoveSidVicious | | They are a fucking great band!! | Val13 | Yep, yep. The droog-thing is quite
interesting.....
Goood band. | cLaNdEsTiNeGiRl | | Yup! | Val13 | Wow. This Sid chick is really dense.
The Adicts are alright. | xzar | Droogs are a slang term in a fictional book.
The idea of the gangs within the book were
based loosely on the Teddy Boys and Mods and
Rockers of England in the 60's (when the
book was written). The movie based on the
book was pretty huge.. a cult classic. I
guess the band based it's look around
that. Nooooooot as if miss bug person is
still here, anyways.. | xzar | The ADiCts are tight their my all time
favorite band. The Adicts were the first band
that i ever listened to. They are the reason
i listen to punk. | burito | It really has happened. Its only the
begining, but here cometh the moron
infiltration. | SyntheticxDreams | A you Ilovesidvicious you sound like a major
poser yourself, Adicts dont affiliate
themselves as oi! your full of shit. I came
across this page and made an account just to
tell you this. The bands that your into say
it all, ignorance and major poser sad. | juanpollo | | the adicts kik ass | krazy_killin_matafaku | | | |
