Adelic Biography

Let's go back to the days when you were young. Remember them? Innocent and naive. You had no qualms with wearing out your older brother's Police albums and hearing Elton John's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' was a life changing experience. You grew a little older and would often lead your friends in a raucous version 'The Piano Man'. Then you grew up and when you heard Coldplay and Ben Folds Five blaring over the college radio you were lost in the cold and lonely back rooms of a university library, severely reminded of your true calling. No, this is not actually you, you are Murray Polisky the lead vocalist, keyboardist and the brains behind your new band, Adelic and their new studio album Logic Has Failed.

- Influences and Roots

Place the artists mentioned above into the proverbial blender and Adelic is what you get. From the bowel-shaking guitar riffs in 'Black Market Souls' to the melancholic musings of 'Since You Left Town', 'Logic' straddles hard alternative music and soft melodious pop with plenty of catchy hooks throughout. 'I listen to a lot of good Canadian music like The New Meanies and Chantal Kreviazuk. You can definitely hear their influences in some of my songs.' The album comes to surface with Too Far Gone, a hauntingly catchy song about the need to reconcile past offenses. Oprah's Audience Won't Clap For Me is a quarky satire of people's tendency to win favor with an audience by making politically correct statements rather than having the fortitude to say what they actually believe. Appropriately titled Logic Has Failed, the album emphasizes the spiritual by de-emphasizing the natural thus leaving it's listeners plenty of latitude for interpretation. 'Quite often I write from a spiritual perspective. I believe that despite the differences in people's religious beliefs I think that everyone is spiritual to some extent and that is the point of contact I want to make with people. Hopefully people will know where I am coming from spiritually when they hear the whole album.'

Adelic is Mike Southworth on drums and vocals, Glenn Nielsen on guitars, Jeff Warren on bass and vocals Murray Polisky on lead vocals and keys.
