The Adicts are an English punk rock band from Ipswich, Suffolk, England. Popular 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.
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 coincide with children's TV appearances. The band still has all its original members.
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, Monkey, wears joker make-up, and his clothes are 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, joker hats, toy instruments or glitter.
