Over their brief time as Adult DVD, the Leeds based 6-piece have become known for their relentless output of infectious hooks and grooves with a euphoric live show that could be mistaken for a club night. Their first single ‘Do Something’ taken from self-released, self- produced EP ‘Next Day Shipping’ landed straight onto the BBC6 Music B list earning widespread support from Dork, Line of Best Fit, Clash, Farout and more. The group ended 2024 with a packed out show at the iconic 100 Club show and 2025 kicked off with a sold out headline for Line Of Best Fit’s ‘5 Day Forecast’ a showcase for the essential new artists of the year. Followed by a sold out twice over (one early, and one late club show, on the same day) at Belgrave Music Hall, in their hometown. Whether tapping into their love for chorus-centric indie or the influence of acid-house floor- fillers, their core appeal remains consistent: undeniable humour; bold, danceable instrumentals; and instantly memorable songwriting. Adult DVD are currently writing new material and gearing up for a summer at festivals in the UK and Europe.
Hayes & Y produzieren an der Schnittstelle zwischen dem Pop von MGMT, dem Zynismus der Talking Heads und den Ideen von Kasabian. Die vier Musiker aus Manchester haben einen besonderen Blick auf die Popmusik der 1980er-Jahre entwickelt, mit Elektro-Pop, Indie-Rock, schimmernden Gitarren und eklektischen Synths verdichtet. Und manchmal klingt diese Mischung sogar ein wenig nach den New Romantics à la Ultravox. Auf „Control“ zum Beispiel. „Our fathers sinned/But I found this synth/So let’s go! (Unsere Väter haben gesündigt/Aber ich habe diesen Synthesizer gefunden/Also lass uns loslegen!)“, singt Blago, bevor einen die treibenden Basslines dazu bringen, aufzustehen und zu tanzen. Dieser Track könnte würde perfekt in einen 80er-Jahre-Spinoff der TV-Serie „Sex Education“ passen. Nur so eine Idee.
