Emerging from the muck of an uncaring world, these derelicts became bound by a single purpose: to exact auditory revenge on the worthless society that spit them out.
Now they will stop at nothing to unleash their brand of sonic destruction on the masses and take their place at the top of the trash heap.
They are the problem you want to see in the world. They are Problem Addict. “Many of the songs on Live From The Emergency Room are somewhat autobiographical notes” – reflects singer/guitarist Al Denté. “Songs like “Back In Jail” and I’m On The Couch are real stories that I’ve lived myself. Writing songs is how I exorcise all the negative feelings of growing up rough”.
Behind the noise are Philadelphia punk rock legends Al Denté on vocals and guitar, alongside Hunny on drums and backing vocals, Icky Radneck on bass and “The Problem” (Edley ODowd of Psychic TV, Toilet Boys and Scorpion Tea) on percussion and samples. “Problem Addicts’ music is the culmination of our collective negative feelings about the current state of the world” – notes Edley ODowd. “We take it all and put in a blender with a generous helping of humor as a way to cope”.
Problem Addict produces a blistering, guttural sound that has one foot firmly planted in ’60s pop and the other in overdriven punk rock. The resulting sound is equal parts alarming and enticing, packed with unforgettable earworm hooks and sing-along lyrics.
The band has spent the last year slaying audiences across the Tri-State area, spreading their absurd musical onslaught with a generous helping of humor. With 4 self-released EPs under their belt, Problem Addict recently recorded a live presentation of all their terrible hits called “Live From The Emergency Room”.
