It has been said that you are far more likely to find Adam Wedd & The Independents busking to fans on the street than retreating to their dressing room to drink their way through the rider. This desire to maintain a unique relationship between their music and their fans is characterised by their distinctive fusion of meaningful & thought-provoking lyrics with catchy pop melodies.
Adam’s unique approach to writing songs comes as a result of several years of honing his craft as a solo singer-songwriter. His lyrics display a well-developed understanding of the human condition, often appearing under the guise of childish optimism and naivety. After several years of success performing as a solo artist, with the high point being the use of his music in a short film premiered at the Covent Garden Odeon, it was time to establish a full-band line-up to take the project to the next level, and born of this was Adam Wedd & The Independents. Never detracting from the original arrangements written for voice and acoustic guitar, the full-band sound naturally suited the tracks, doing nothing but complementing the original musical ideas.

Since forming, the band have been in the studio creating new material, layering the sounds of a diverse range of instruments including the cello, mandolin & ukelele, over the guitar driven 4-piece dynamic.
All the while, the project is gaining momentum with an increasing tally of headline slots, press coverage & radio airplay, and with the eager anticipation of their debut single release in June and the follow-up later in the summer, Adam Wedd & The Independents are going to be one to watch out for over the coming months.

“The multilayed nature of their music is something fresh and unique… Safe Place, The Differences We Display & Everything Is Not OK are stand outs and give you the slightest glimpse into how big these guys are going to get.”
- TNC, THE NEW CURRENT (MAR 31, 2009)

“Cracked, emotional, wistful songs that will keep you warm of an evening.””
- Gill Mills, Best of MySpace BBC

” …you couldn’t help but feel there was more than just a shade of poet about him.”
- Dominic Mills, Surface Unsigned Festival

“….Every hook laden song leaves you recollecting the joys of your early childhood when one would jump in puddles and kick through piles of leaves.”
- Luke Da
