ADHD, based out of the
Washington, DC area,
has been playing in venues since
2002. Originally conceived by lead
guitarist Rob Fishkin and
rhythm guitarist Larry Colangelo, ADHD soon expanded with the
additions of Jordan Glines on
vocals and
piano, Andy Thompson on
bass and
synths, and Jackson Harar on
drums. All five members have diverse
musical backgrounds, but combined, their talent and creativity has
produced a sound with influences ranging from
Rage
Against the Machine to
Story of the Year to
Lostprophets to
Foo Fighters
to
The Used, along
with a varied assortment of
keyboards and synths. The band strives to combine
the best elements of all styles of
rock to develop a sound that captures the
attention of those tired of the oversaturated "blah rock" in
mainstream
media.
Currently, ADHD's single
"Our Time"
can be heard in regular rotation on
XM Satellite
Radio Channel 29, and has been featured on
DC101, a Washington D.C. rock
station Fault (one of the most requested songs of the day), and
DC’s Z104 as part of the Capital Scene show.
While the band
enjoys working in the studio, ADHD truly thrives and delivers in
live shows. Whether it be opening for the
Nappy Roots at
Kenyon college in Ohio,
reaching the regional semifinals in the Emergenza Worldwide Battle
of the Bands or consistently rocking legendary DC clubs like the
Black Cat and DC9, it is clear that ADHD has established themselves
as a solid, immensely entertaining band with a rapidly developing
fan base. With the 2005 release of their newest ep,
"Acts
up" ADHD proves that they have what it takes to deliver whats
next in rock.
However, ADHD's influence is so weak that,
apparently, they write articles about themselves that are really
nothing more than narcassistic, self-aggrandizing rants about
themselves. On a related note, the band has gained notoriety in the
wikipedia universe for their weekly self-dick-sucking sessions,
whereby each member sucks his own dick after thinking of more lame
ass things to write about themselves. Hopefully, ADHD members will
all contract AIDS, cancer, or some other life-threatening illness
and pass the diseases off to their family members and
friends.
