Adeste

Adeste is six piece outfit based out of Central Florida. Its members came from different backgrounds, influences, and different corners of the world. Formed in February of 2007, they have overcome many obstacles to remain together, and look toward the future with optimism. From the very beginning, they set out to be a powerful voice in the music industry, with a positive message that is seldom seen anymore. It’s an often overstated and under appreciated idea that music is about having fun. They understand that they have a chance to set a good example for the kids that go to shows and that it’s not about who can look the toughest or curse the most on stage. It’s about having fun and loving one another. Adeste is a band that appreciates every single person that goes to see them play, and strives to be a positive influence on a decaying music scene. In March of 2007, Adeste trekked across Florida to record their debut, self-titled EP with Randy Ketterman in the Sparkhouse Studio in Orlando, FL. With the help of Randy and fellow South Florida native, Jason McMaster, they recorded five songs they were proud to call their own. The process took longer than expected, but was well worth the wait. The EP was released in early 2008. Adeste’s live show is energetic, their enthusiasm is infectious, and their drive is matchless. Some influences would include anything from pop-punk to indie to metal, hardcore, screamo, and back again. Members influences are diverse, yet come together to create their own unique sound, combining ambient guitars and catchy melodies with breakdowns, blood curdling screams, and heavy on the synth. With their debut EP finally done, they are ready to take on Florida, then… the world. In June of 2009, the band left South Florida, and took root in Orlando, FL, a city they have grown to love since they began working on their EP. Since then, they have been playing regularly in Orlando's premiere venues while working on their upcoming full length album, expected to be finished in the summer. Read more on Last.fm.
