If I could fall, would I let go?
If you could see, would you choose to know?
And still time continues to twist,
I insist, I exist, I exist

Angel tears fall in silver dreams
A memory, all is not what it seems
I’m calling out, but not a soul hears
Will you remember this?

Whose voice do I hear?
When will the end become clear?
In mystery, I persist
Was it something, something I missed?

I’m a slave to all that I crave
Your mind a prison you don’t want to escape
I look for signs, but I am lost in the mist
Will you remember this?

Tell Me What You Want

Morning Glory (Unplugged)

Microwave Rhapsody

South-London indie-punks adults are back with their second full length album in October. The new single, crying, is the second track to be taken from the forthcoming LP “the seeds we sow are sprouting buds nonetheless”.

According to the band, crying, is some “bouncy, fuzzy junk about miscommunication in love”. Flailing somewhere between Trust Fund and Martha they sing about arguing in your head with someone you love about completely different things and learning that sometimes it’s better to just lay things out on the table. Featuring some excellent noodling by Fresh’s Joely it’s one of the album’s more straight up indie-pop tracks.

adults’ new record is a pocketful of seeds, ideas, loves, fears and hopes which have sprouted, grown, and intertwined over the past two years. It's a jumble of indie pop, jangle, shoegaze, emo and country songs made in those moments in between. They say that the new album “gathers together echoes of the songs and bands we love into deeply personal songs about growth, change, loss and love, set to the background hum of a world which wants to crush all hope.”

The songs are patchworks of riffs, loops and overdubs stitched together by long time co-conspirator Rich Mandell over the course of 3 months recording on rooftops and warehouses in South London. This is the longest they’ve ever spent recording, (they did their first record in a day in a garage!) and have tried to put together a much more coherent, intentional record as well as just messing around with loud amps and gear they don’t have access to in their bedrooms! 

FFO: los campesinos!, martha, breeders, radiator hospital, nana grizol, sleater-kinney, joanna gruesome, the beths, the pains of being pure at heart.

adults are a fast silly indie punk band of four long term pals (carl, joe, joely and tom) who love indie-pop, diy and burgess park. Containing members from various UK diy bands (Fresh, New Starts, Wolf Girl, Tomboy Grandpa, Top Deck) they write noisy awkward pop songs with crunching guitars, speedy drums and yelping dual vocals. Based in south London and firmly established in the UKs indie-pop scene, adults released their debut single ‘MSN’ with Art is Hard records (Bristol, UK), an EP with Caballito Records (Madrid, Spain) and their debut album ‘for everything, always’ came out in 2022 on Fika Recordings (London, UK). Collaborating on splits with much-loved Bitch Hunt ‘Space Armadillo EP’ and recently with Oxford’s Spank Hair titled ‘…in the big league’.

Influenced by the kindness and community of the UK diy scene, adults continue the fight to write one song as good as the world’s best band, Martha (Durham). 

They have a new album ‘the seeds we sow are sprouting buds nonetheless’ coming out on Fika on 31/10/2025 and will be playing shows around the UK with mates Felicette in October.
