Album Notes

Biography

The Addictions couldn'­t be further from the whining, griping, and moaning of contemporary alternative rockers. They bring back what was so appealing about rock in the first place: hell-raising fun. The music is the driving passion behind the electrifying team of Jason Richard and Beth Richard, who share and trade lead vocals. The band is harnessed into a hard rock package with the pounding drums of Derek Hatley and the raunchy bass of David Warren. Adding Christopher Volloy'­s aggressive guitar attack with Jason Richard'­s power hooks gives the Addictions a twin onslaught as they alternate lead and rhythm seamlessly. The Addictions are all depth and crunch.

The Addictions self-titled debut album on Electric Factory Records fulfills their promise of merciless rock n­ roll, with songs that feel like a dangerous act of rebellion. The album was recorded at Wire Recording Studio where Stuart Sullivan engineered, mixed, and co-produced along with Jason Richard. Sullivan has worked with such artists as Sublime, the Butthole Surfers, and The Meat Puppets. His extensive experience gives The Addictions a 10 song CD that captures their hard-core attitude and worships at the altar of sex, drugs, and rock & roll.


This music is addicting,laughs Jason Richard. We'­re doing what we set out to do, adds drummer Derek Hatley. The music isn'­t about political statements it'­s just high energy rock n roll, says bassist David Warren. Beth adds, you can hear it in our music, one crashing sound that is The Addictions.
