"This is the best "unsigned" group in America, and the hardest-working best live act in indie rock. All the songs on Where You Come From are potential radio hits, so catchy that once you've heard them it's hard to get them out of your head. That is, if there were still pop/rock radio, they'd be all over "Promise" ... I promise ..."
Roger Friedman, Fox411: FoxNews.com
"Adam, formerly of the band Green Inside, has developed a quite a reputation in the area as one of the most talented songwriters in the New Haven area. Taking cues from artists like the Counting Crows, Tom Petty and Wilco, Adam combines a sharp pop aesthetic with deep rooted Americana."
Jeffrey Petrin, PLAY New Haven
"I would, without a doubt, throw on a Seth Adam record before a John Mayer or Rob Thomas album. And it’s somewhat unfair to even mention those two when talking about Where You Come From, because Adam and his band rock a little harder than those comparisons, but, you know, you need comparisons in a review."
Patrick Ferrucci, New Haven Register
Seth Adam creates compelling, accessible, timeless rock music with honest lyrics. With influences ranging from Counting Crows, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin, his songs demonstrate a deft pop-sensibility and a compelling vulnerability which continue to touch an ever-growing and remarkably diverse fan base.
A critical element in Seth Adam's growing popularity has been the passion and impact of the group's live performances. Seth Adam, the former frontman and songwriter for the Connecticut-based band Green Inside, has assembled a crack line-up of seasoned musicians that bring color from a wide spectrum of musical genres. These band members, fluent in the language of jazz, R&B, hard rock, alt-country, and classic pop, propel the live show and give a modern and forceful lift to Adam's vintage musical vision. This assemblage (Seth Adam - vocals, acoustic and electric guitar; Gerry Giaimo - lead guitar, acoustic guitar and vocals; Anthony Bianco - drums; and Fred DiLeone - Piano Bass, Hammond, Rhodes and Wurlitzer) is a melting pot of talent, a singular unit with a common stride, creating timeless pop-rock music in both the American and British traditions.
Through regular performances throughout the Northeast, Seth Adam and his band have put together a show of amazing energy. They have opened for artists such as Will Hoge, Alexa Ray Joel, Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers and Chris Barron (formerly of The Spin Doctors). These live offerings continue to convert the most unattached, jaded listener into rock & roll believers with liberal doses of brawny electric guitar and sensitive acoustic forays, flooded with sweat and emotion. It is no wonder that Seth Adam's performance caused FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman to proclaim, "Adam's appearance last night in New York was a rock revelation. The Connecticut kid may be rock's next Matchbox Twenty, or more."
Since the inception of the project, Seth and company have released several recordings, including the Seth Adam EP in 2006, Live In New Haven 11.8.06 in 2007, the current full-length Where You Come From in 2008, and most recently in early 2009, Everything Is Something Else, an acoustic EP available for free, exclusively through ReverbNation. In 2007, Seth's song "Get Out" was licensed to Volkswagen for their 2007 Sights and Sounds campaign.
Currently, Seth & the band are tackling several projects, including promoting the Horizon Music Group releases Where You Come From and Everything Is Something Else, performing acoustic and full band electric shows throughout the Northeast, and writing new material for a second full length album, scheduled for Fall 2009.
