A great legacy

"Adhesive were never well-known outside of Europe. Out of their 5 proper releases only one ("sideburner") was ever available stateside. Sure "sideburner" is a great album, but it only hints at the greatness to come two years later. A band who would go on to release what I feel are two of the best punk albums in history. ("from left to right" and "we got the beat") And unlike 95% of their peers, Adhesive never went stale, always reinventing themselves over their 8 year span. And finally laying the band to rest when they felt the time was right. I guess they accomplished what they had set out to do: Create intelligent, moving and memorable music while keeping things fun too. I do wish some worthy label would re-release their stuff to the rest of the world. Adhesive could stand the test of time if only more people knew they existed.
