Artist description The Adopted is an explosive Canadian band in procurement of an international record deal. Founded by Cheetah, all original members of this power trio were coincidentally adopted. Since inception, the band has pride themselves the distinction of being an institution passionate towards relating to listeners everywhere; thought provoking, introspective songs on love, life, longing, abandonment, faith ... & the complexities of an ever changing world around them. For those who have witnessed delivery of their sonic agenda on stage, The Adopted is also a group intensely committed into sharing with fans - the promise of a poignantly electrifying live performance. Armed with two nationally exposed videos, hundreds of show engagements and several critically acclaimed independent releases, this exciting emerging recording artist is poised and ready for success in the new millennium.
