Me Nd Adam was a project founded by friends that found each other in the throes of death, breakups, and alcoholism. As the world turned its back, Adam and Vince turned to music. Known to their fans for their accessibility, merchandise giveaways, and rambunctious behavior, Me Nd Adam are the original trash-wave trailblazers. The Austin, TX-based duo started in 2020 when lightning struck for their single “Heartbreak Kid” which debuted in Wonderland Magazine and quickly garnered over two million streams. The success of “Heartbreak Kid” attracted the attention of darkhorse Las Vegas-based indie label, Handwritten Records.
After signing with Handwritten Records the band went on to release a string of singles leading up to the 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: writing the album, “contains stunning elements of comfort, sadness, excitement, resentment and happiness — encapsulating the woes and tides of life and all its ups and downs it hurls at us…it’s a relatable, clever and meticulously produced album [and] offers something for everyone.” Atwood Magazine included ADP1 as one of the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” for 2020.
Their latest single “Best of Me” is off of the upcoming album American Drip Pt. II and emerged from a songwriting session with Adam, Vince, and George Gekas (The Revivalists). Just as they were losing steam and ready to close up shop for the night, sudden inspiration struck and with a fresh jolt of energy, “Best of Me” was born. A bottle of vodka on the counter begged to be opened, and Adam longed to help. Feeling he had no other choice, Adam poured himself a drink and suddenly had an epiphany: Staring at the fresh cocktail he thought, “Ah ha, that’s what the song should be about.” The precipice for the song, the lyrics, and the recording all came together in a singular moment of exhaustion and defeat, but from the ashes rose the band’s hardest-hitting rock song yet.
Hot off their largest national tour yet, spanning 23 cities, the band is currently releasing singles leading up to their sophomore album, American Drip Pt. II, due this July.
