  • The Adicts are an English punk band from Ipswich, Suffolk, England. One of the more popular punk rock bands in the 1980s, they were often in the indie charts at that time. Their song "Viva La Revolution" was featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Underground. It was also featured in a commercial for the E! channel advertising their reality television show Pop Fiction. In the movie Juno, there is a scene where an Adicts poster can be seen in the background in the room of the movie's character Juno. Warped Tour 2009 is the first time The Adicts have played the punk rock festival. The Adicts originated as Afterbirth & The Pinz in late 1975. They soon changed their name to The Adicts and became known for their distinctive Clockwork Orange droog image, which, along with their urgent, uptempo music and light-hearted lyrics, helped set them apart from other punk bands. In the 1980s, they temporarily changed their name to 'Fun Adicts' and 'ADX', mainly to coincide with children's TV appearances. Their music has catchy melodies and lyrics, and often features extra instruments and sound clips, such as carousel music in "How Sad", violin played by Derick Cook in "Joker in the Pack", and gongs and keyboard percussion by Anthony Boyd in "Chinese Takeaway". The musicians wear all white, with black boots and black bowler hats. The singer, Keith "Monkey" Warren, wears joker make-up, and his clothes were usually wild, patterned suits (such as checkerboard or polkadot), flared trousers and colorful dress shirts. He also tends to wear a bowler hat and gloves. Along with the look, come stage shows involving items such as streamers, confetti, playing cards, beach balls, joker hats, toy instruments and glitter.

  • O The Adicts é uma banda de punk rock formada em 1977, no vilarejo Ipswich, cidade de Suffolk, Inglaterra. Os integrantes são: Monkey (Keith Warren), nos vocais, Pete De (Pete Davidson) na guitarra, Mel Ellis no baixo e Kid Dee (Michael Davison) na bateria. Quase 27 anos após o primeiro show da banda, eles ainda estão tocando com a mesma formação. A banda foi influenciada pelo visual dos "droogs", do clássico filme Laranja Mecânica. Famosos na cena rock independente e campeões de vendas de discos nesta cena, eles conseguiram a proeza de emplacar seu segundo disco de estúdio, Sound of Music de 1982 e o single "Bad Boy", na disputada parada rock britânica.
  • The Adicts — группа из Ипсвича (в 1975—1976 годах называвшаяся Afterbirth & The Pinz): играла жесткий, но жизнерадостный панк-рок с элементами глэма, а имидж заимстсовала у «Друга», персонажа фильма «Заводной апельсин» («A Сlockwork Orange») по роману Энтони Бёрджесса . Первые два альбома группы носят ретроспективный характер (набраны из демо-пленок, синглов и радио-сессий 1978—1980 годов) и по стилю близки к Ramones, Chelsea и The Members. Позже группа (не изменив общему приподнятому настроению) разнообразила и усложнила звучание, введя в свой инструментальный арсенал скрипку и мандолину. В сценических шоу The Adicts преобладала красочная буффонада (с использованием серпантина, игрушечных инструментов, игральных карт и т. д.). Группа не раз принимала участие в детских телепрограммах, каждый раз меняя название (Fun Adicts, ADX). Самой изестной песней The Adicts остается Viva la Revolution (использованная в игре Tony Hawk’s Underground).
  • The Adicts är ett brittiskt punkband, bildat 1975 i Ipswich. Deras stil är starkt inspirerad av Stanley Kubricks film A Clockwork Orange. Bandet har fortfarande alla originalmedlemmar kvar. De har gjort sju studioalbum.
