Adolar. Story
Adolar was founded in January 2008. The name is a reference to a Hungarian comic series, a hero behind the iron curtain named Adolar Mézga. This is a young boy dreaming of his own reality. Whole days he wears a nightdress, so that his parents can´t send him to supermarkets. At night he leaves earth heading for adventures in other galaxies with his inflatable rocket. This comic was ment as a critic to nowadays society.
They spent the summer at rehearsal and studio to work on new material. Andreas of unterm durchschnitt liked the rough mixes that much, so he decided to release them.
March 2009 Planet Rapidia has been released on vinyl. It contains 3 tracks. A fourth song, during 11 minutes, has been released as bonustrack via digital release. With producer Rouven Blankenfeld a videoclip was produced to "Mariokart Vs Kettcar". The response on it was overwhelming, more than 10.000 indiekids watched it in the first two weeks. The 7" was sold out in 3 months and got reissued rapidly. Mainstream media such as Visions, Radio NRG, MDR Sputnik or Motor also interviewed and featured the boys beside scene´s press.

Schwörende Seen, Ihr Schicksalsjahre! has been released on March 5th and caused enthusiastic feedback from fans as well as journalists. Magazines such as Visions wrote Adolar functions like a start for a new generation. Christian Steinbrink (Intro, Nillson Fanzine) predicted Adolar will be the most auspicious rockband nowaddays and for future. "Kitt" as the first single became an insiders tip through monthlong airplay-rotations on several relevant college radios in germany. Their second video-clip again was produced by Rouven Blankenfeld. Peter Löwe from Mikrokosmos23 had a guest appearance in it. After touring 120 shows in the first 2 years the band signed a booking contract with Sparta Entertainment while the band got interviewed by Uncle Sally´s Magazine as a role model for a new punk movement in Germany.
