All Genres > Rock > Glam > ADAM EVIL & THE OUTSIDE ROYALTY: Adam Evil & The Outside Royalty

Adam Evil and the Outside Royalty continues to refine their spectacle. Influences as diverse as David Bowie, Supergrass, The Rolling Stones, T.Rex, and Radiohead help create the Adam Evil sound. Incorporating a live string section, fuzzed-out synths, and a straight-ahead rock guitar/bass/drums core, the sound is like few you've heard before.

Pittsburgh's Hottest Unsigned Rock Band: 2004 Zippo Hot Tour

"Evil has a girl in red patent leather go-go boots playing violin. Evil has a light show. Evil has killer hooks and hard-driving Rock tunes. Evil has new fans in the Queen City." -Cincinnati CityBeat 10/1/03

"With cello, violin, synth, guitars, bass, drums and some sound sampling thrown in at unexpected moments, each song is action-packed. They may start subtly, with little more than Evil's guitar and agile voice ambling through the verses, but they can explode at any minute with furious bursts from the whole band, change tempos and melodies in curious places and have a good number of hooks thrown in by the end... An orchestral ballad can quickly turn into a spiraling, guitar-driven number and then effortlessly switch back. The decadence carries glam rock connotations, but the sound is a lot more modern and sophisticated, and that tends to catch people off guard. " -Pittsburgh Pulp 1/04

"It's amazing how you discover great music if you just seek it out. A few weeks ago I found myself at Club Cafe in Pittsburgh, PA... Adam Evil and the Outside Royalty took the stage and offered up a good 45-minute set of invigorating original music. With unique arrangements, a variety of delightful timbres and pretty passionate performances, you've got something that's easy to enjoy at first listen." -drtune.net 9/04

"Evil's sound is a cross between a young, experimental David Bowie and elements of T. Rex and the Jam, circa 'All Mod Cons.'...the musicians never stay in a single place or settle for trite emotions. 'Liquid Leather Lover' is a straight-out rocker that does little to prepare a listener for the melancholic serenity of 'Yesterday's Girl.'" -Pittsburgh Tribune Review 12/23/04

"(In 2004) There also was a lot of good local music; particularly notable were efforts by Adam Evil & The Outside Royalty ('Necessary Evil'), Tom Breiding ('Two Tone Chevrolet'), Good Brother Earl's self-titled release and The Breakup Society's 'James at 35.' -Pittsburgh Tribune Review 1/2/05
