  From flea market frenzy to flea circus freakiness, Adamo Drive comes to you in the jolt of a pinball explosion blasting off into the treacherous land of Cosmic Rock n Roll and even Alice in Wonderland can't remember that her safety word is Bob Ross. Flailing riffs, warbling as if playing an unborn anthem, Adamo Drive re-traces the steps of Rock n Roll from the past to the future, adding water colors to black-and-white in a barbarian-meets-alien kind of world. Whether you like to be down home on the ranch or rolling over the edge of a rollar coaster, this rock organization will dunk your head in a reverb tank and pleasantly land you on another green, dancing planet. Most importantly, it's rock with a surprise inside.
