High-energy, raw, and a whole lot of attitude – Another Damn Disappointment (A.D.D.) from Sacramento, California, has been a staple in the scene since their formation in 2001. With a unique sound shaped by the Epitaph/Fat Wreck bands of the ‘90s, they’ve carved out their own space. Loud, and dark but always fueled by passion and conviction, they’ve played the Vans Warped Tour twice and shared the stage with punk icons like Authority Zero and Guttermouth.
The past years have been a rough ride – filled with hardships, heartbreak, and an overwhelming amount of pain: The loss of founding member and bassist Casey Marsullo in a car accident 2016 was devastating. More than just a bassist, he was the driving force behind the band, always pushing them forward. Despite the heartbreak, they carried on, knowing that’s what Casey would have wanted. Instead of breaking, they turned grief into fuel and stillness into new energy. What once seemed like an open-ended question is now a reality: Their new album “Bedlam” is finally here.
Recorded before the loss of their friend, “Bedlam” was carefully and professionally completed over the years – not as a shadow of the past, but as a powerful testament to their evolution. Mixed and mastered by Jason Livermore at the legendary Blasting Room Studios (Descendents, Rise Against, Black Flag, Frenzal Rhomb) and featuring artwork by Joel Abad (NOFX, Pennywise, Mad Caddies), it’s more than just another album – it’s a statement.
“Bedlam” is being released on their own label, Disappointed Records, in a limited vinyl edition, on CD, and digitally. It’s an album that proves some things just take time – and that’s exactly what makes them so damn good. Anyone who knows A.D.D. knows: They’re far from done.
