The Adopted are standing in the light of a shooting star. As we gaze up at the heavens , these Canadian stars are poised to the ascending ladder of alternative power pop

“In Your Way” recall the live spontaneity of the new wave. Ghosts of Plimsouls , shine through to resurrect this tune

“Voodoo Chic” ventures forth with post modern retro verve. Lyrical dynamics build the verse as the chorus echoes a Vox melodic figure. Frothing & smoldering under the surface does this song bubble & brew

From the works of “Fruitation” comes “Frayed”with it’s steady & melancholy refrain. Reminds us of some of the work of Echo & the Bunnymen from Liverpool. Low octave verses married with higher octave choruses showcase band leader Cheetah’s Vox appeal

“Lament” is a dark charmer of ghostly ambiance & a fine stylish romantic cutting edge song

“Sublime” brings forth a stupendous three point chromatic change. Extra fine line vocals & lyrical stupefaction quality in the verse The phantom strikes

“Bring On Faith” is a shimmering gem of a tune & one we highly recommend. A dark & brooding vocal weaves its way through the changes

“Say If You Will” is an acoustic refrain stretching the boundaries of audio flight. Composition intact, lyrically adept. Major cadence

The adopted have an original hybrid sound that goes in its own directions at will. The adopted refuse to drown. So instead they shine like a dream of star shine polish , with a gleam & a spirit in their vocalist & pulse of creative interaction in the likes of Cheetah Davy Lai. With the support of Mr. Dunford & Mr. Way & a nod to the alumni , The Adopted are a rising sun on the musical zenith
