"The Adored is a power pop band based in Los Angeles, California. They are signed to V2 Records in North America and released a 5-song EP in 2005, which featured guest vocals by Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks on 2 songs. Their debut LP, A New Language, was released in the summer of 2006.
The band is made up of Ryan George (vocals), Nathanael Keefer (drums), Drew 17 (guitar) and Max Humphrey (bass). George and Keefer originally met as Central Coast teenagers, through George's straight edge hardcore punk band Carry On, with whom Keefer later played drums. Keefer later left Carry On and moved to Los Angeles, and George followed suit shortly after release of their LP A Life Less Plagued.
The band has moved from playing 'wired discopunk' (-NME) in their early days to a more recent straightforward punk rock style, with strong power pop, Oi, new wave and Britpop influences. Their relationship with the Buzzcocks began when Pete Shelley met the band at their first New York City show in 2004. The most obvious and frequently cited source of the band's name is the Stone Roses song 'I Wanna Be Adored.'"
