The ADZ have a long history in the L.A. punk scene. Tony was a founding member of the Adolecents, Abandoned and the Flower Leperds. Bruce, a member of 45 Grave, Twisted Roots, Bug Lamp, Jeff Dahl Group and Jesters Of Destiny. George, a founding member of Sacred Hatred and Bonecrusher. Mike, a founding member of Flipside Magazine and Pasadena darlings Crome-Moly Violets (the rest of whom are now in The Urinals). Collectively, they have released more than 50 albums. Both Bruce and Tony have long histories as fanzine writers, though Bruce has been able to turn this folly into something resembling true journalism. There is not a single credible L.A. musicology or rock history book that does not include footnote, interviews and references with these two music geeks sprinkled throughout. The music written by this collective has been used in film, television and other entertainment media throughout the world. In other words, they have a good shelf life. "American Steel" is the sixth full release by ADZ.
