Me Nd Adam is a pair of friends who found each other in the throes of nihilistic debauchery and breakups. As the
world turned its back, Adam and Vince turned to music. Known to their fans for their heartfelt anthems, accessibility,
and rambunctious behavior, Me Nd Adam are the original trash-wave trail-blazers.
The Austin, TX based duo saw lightning strike in 2020 when their single “Heartbreak Kid” garnered millions of
streams. The success of “Heartbreak Kid” attracted the attention of Las Vegas-based indie label, Handwritten
Records.
After signing with Handwritten Records, the band dropped a string of singles in the run-up to the November 2020
release of their debut album American Drip Pt. I (ADP1). The album’s singles earned coverage in Rolling Stone,
Alternative Press and American Songwriter, with “Something Better” scoring a spot in Earmilk’s Best Songs of 2020
(Indie & Alternative) and The Line of Best Fit awarding ADP1 an “8/10," noting the the album “contains stunning
elements of comfort, sadness, excitement, resentment and happiness — and encapsulates the woes and tides of life
and all its ups and downs it hurls at us...a relatable, clever and meticulously produced album [and] offering something
for everyone.” Atwood Magazine included ADP1 as one of the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” for 2020.
The Killers gave ADP1’s single “The More I Grow Up” a nod, shouting out the track on their social media.
Unprecedented support from The Killers’ fan base led to arena opening slots for Me Nd Adam in Dallas and Austin.
The mentorship culminated with a direct support slot for The Killers’ 2022 New Year’s Eve party at The Cosmopolitan
in Las Vegas.
Me Nd Adam’s sound is reminiscent of classic American songwriters like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen with a
contemporary twist of alternative rock and pop production. The band’s influences range from Willie Nelson to Meek
Mill and Jason Isbell to Blink-182.
Me Nd Adam has recently appeared at SXSW, Austin City Limits Music Festival and Shaky Knees Music Festival.
Invigorated by the woes of their largest national tour yet, spanning 23 cities, Me Nd Adam is currently releasing
singles leading up to their sophomore album, American Drip Pt. II, due out July 28th, 2023.
