 So What If You Go

If ever there was a band primed for the spotlight its Adelitas Way.  Their high octane rock style is one that would sound at home on any radio station in America.  Their lyrics are undeniably catchy, with hooks that leave the listener wanting more, while crushing guitars are peppered through out all of the band's songs, Adelitas Way is dripping with potential.

Lead singer Rick Dejesus honed his songwriting craft while working with one of the best, songwriter/producer extraordinaire Brian Howes.  It hasn't taken long for the music industry to recognize Dejesus' skills, as the band inked a deal with Virgin Records in October, after score two number one songs on the Unsigned Top 10 Chart on Alternative Addiction.

What's next for Adelitas Way?  2009 brings a lot of promise for the band, with their major label debut due out sometime next year, along with the band's first nationwide tour.  If the band's previous work is any indication, this little known band from Las Vegas with a name that no one can pronounce will soon become the band everyone is talking about in 2009.
