45 ADAPTERS DEBUT NEW SINGLE ‘REFUSE TO DIE’
NEW ALBUM ‘UNSTOPPABLE’ AVAILABLE NOW!
Brooklyn, NY – May 2024 – Brooklyn “Maximum Oi ’n B” rockers 45 Adapters, whose new album ‘Unstoppable’ is now available for pre-order, have released their second single ‘Refuse To Die’. This song is one of reflection for frontman Pickabar as he grapples with the positives and negatives of the skinhead subculture that he has been a part of for 30 years. “It’s been a massive part of my life, my friendships, this band. However, skinhead is complicated and I think there’s no shame in admitting the best and worst parts of the subculture instead of mythologizing it as some kind of volunteer group or something” Pickabar explains. He understands that over his three decades in the skinhead subculture that it has significantly evolved to his delight, noting it is far more peaceful than years past. Still, though, he recognizes he’s still in the minority who truly understand it. “In the end, very few people would be happy if their daughter brought home a skinhead boyfriend and that’s part of what makes the subculture so great,” he laments. Band have already released the title track to the album, ‘Unstoppable’ available on all streaming platforms. The song was one of the first tracks written after the band’s previous release, ‘Now Or Never’ and pays tribute to the old days of rock & roll that Pickabar and the band grew up on.
