Fast-rising Irish duo Adore have released their debut EP, BITER, via Big Scary Monsters Records ahead of a run of headline tour dates across the UK and Ireland this autumn. Produced by Daniel Fox (Gilla Band), BITER is a volatile and unexpectedly moving seven-track sucker punch. A snarling collision of Punk grit and Alt-Rock melodies, Adore pull inspiration from horror films, vampire folklore and personal experience, with the EP unravelling the quiet ways we contort ourselves to fit in, and the chaos that follows when we push back. Together, the seven songs bite down on themes of survival, selfhood and defiance and provide Adore’s most unflinching statement yet. Tickets for Adore‘s UK tour are available here and tickets for their Irish headline dates can be purchased here.

“BITER is a collection of tracks written before and after Adore’s formation which document a long lesson in being loud and biting back. Over the past few years, I have been obsessed with people’s childhood mannerisms and if they carried into or developed into anything in adulthood. I came to the conclusion that most children pick up one or more of these vices: Biter, burner (setting fires), poker, tickler. These little acts of childhood menace are preformed when a child feels great emotion; be it positive or negative, love or hatred. Over the years, I learned how keeping to myself and using silence as a form of self defence was affecting my sense of self. I no longer have to be obedient to survive. Though I was not a biter as a child, I began wishing I was. I admire the release of big feelings that my friends indulged in when they were small and as I’ve grown up, I too have become a biter.” (singer Lara Minchin)
