At Last - A Monday to look forward to.

The Adults Album Will Be Released On MONDAY 20 June

After 22 years at the helm of New Zealand's most loved rock band, Shihad frontman Jon Toogood has built up a treasure trove of musical connections. Lucky for us, they have now collided, resulting in one hell of a project.
With a vast collection of musical ideas and a bit of downtime, Jon began work on a project which has now become The Adults, a celebration of his work with some of New Zealand's brightest talents and an iconic Kiwi album in-the-making.
The Adults are Jon Toogood (Shihad), Tiki Taane, Shayne Carter (Straitjacket Fits/Dimmer), Anika Moa, Ladi6, Julia Deans, Gary Sullivan (Jean Paul Sartre Experience/Dimmer), Nick Roughan (Skeptics), Ruban & Kody Nielson (The Mint Chicks), Warren Maxwell (TrinityRoots/Little Bushman), Ricki Gooch (TrinityRoots), Redford Grenell (Shapeshifter) and Steve Bremner.
With their debut, self-titled album set for release on 20 June, The Adults have given us a preview of what is to come with the tasty sweet soul of Nothing To Lose which has gone on to become a number one Alt Radio hit.
One Million Ways (the first official single) is one of the many standout tracks - infectious and epic in equal measure. Other highlights include the Anika Moa lullaby-esque Sleep Me Tight, good friend Julia Deans on the optimistic New Beginning and co-pilot Shayne Carter on Most Important. The result is a collection of songs - beautiful in its eclecticism.
