Adult Share R U 4 $ale

I dive into a lot of synth punk and synth pop, but among all that, the approach of Detroit’s Adult is always in its own realm. Like the lyrics of this tune, “the chaos is what they want;” they cross between frantic beats and discordant blips that make their sound seem otherworldly…and just on the edge of being completely anti-pop. Nikola Kuperus’ vocals provide an extra layer of discord, alternating between seductive and purposeful yelps/howls that drive home the band’s messaging. Their aim here: “to meet a burning world of greed and disarray with defiant, and masterfully assembled chaos.” No one is doing it quite like they do, which is why we’re itching to hear all of Kissing Luck Goodbye, out March 27th via Dais Records.

Adult Share No One Is Coming

January 28, 2026 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Let’s face it, the world is a shit show, and every day we’re waking to watch the Decline of Western Civilization, so we’ve go to turn to the artists, like Adult. The Detroit punks are issuing both a warning and a call to arms, set to a thumping bit of synth punk; it’s oddly danceable despite the messaging. The constant refrain of “no one is coming” serves as a reminder that we’ve got to start taking back the spaces that we value the most…be that political, or more importantly, local communities. All of this is weaved into a track that swirls with infectious noise, stomping in your ears as Nicola delivers her sermon to the masses. The group will release Kissing Luck Goodbye on March 27th via Dais.
