About Adelitas Way

The band name, taken from a frightening band incident that culminated at an infamous brothel/bar in Tijuana.  Making the internal external, Adelitas Way create heartfelt, radio-ready songs, deftly captured by Grammy-nominated producer Johnny K (Disturbed, Plain White T’s, 3 Doors Down).  Tunes range from the sexy romp of ‘Dirty Little Thing” to the emotionally charged rock anthem of “Last Stand” to the crowd-pleaser “Invincible,” which, says Rick, has an “‘Incredible Hulk’ feeling.  It pumps you up.  It’s about our attitude: I’m not going to let anyone stand in the way of my dreams.” In fact, WWE Superstars adopted “Invincible” as its theme song, and anticipation for the July 14, 2009 release of Adelitas Way was bolstered by a tour with Saliva, and “Invincible”’s use on “CSI Miami.”  Regional tours and gigs with Chris Cornell, Hinder and Tantric honed the band’s reputation as a powerful live act.
