Biography
Adfinem's current lineup was born in 2006, when keyboard player Paul Fisher met young Manchester based vocalist Simon McDonald through the power of the internet (don't worry, it was a musicians site...honest!)
Following on from the "Live and Learn" album (5/5 stars in Rock Sound), the two teamed up with Ade Fenton (producer of Gary Numan's "Jagged") to produce the single "Misunderstood" and b-side "Smalltown", due for release April/May 2008.
Having completed work on the single, they continue to write and work together in preparation for a long awaited 2nd album, for which they are currently looking for a new label.
Meanwhile, they are also attracting gig supports with the likes of Mesh, IAMX, D.A.F. , and american chart-toppers The Cruxshadows & Rrecently signed Envy & Other Sins.
"Fantastic! Really love your stuff..." (Robert Goerl, of electronic pioneers D.A.F.)
"The music is beautifully constructed... Adfinem indeed are a band to watch. Easily marketable, smooth and dreamy, and highly danceable." (Marcus Pan, Legends Magazine)
"Small Town" - intro dark, followed by uplifting, melodic, blend of musical instruments. Then, the vocals start with an inner sensitivity mixed with smooth, powerful, sharp vocals. Well written lyrics creating mood inducing thoughts. Need to hear more of your musical talent. Simply mezmerizing ... (Eclipse 1508)
"The second coming of John Foxx!" (Japanese Sensations PSYDOLL)

Hi Paul, great to see you back on MySpace! I was really missing you. Yeah, I just started with keyboard lessons. It's pretty cool but also a bit hard as I learn everything from the scratch. I'm practising on a smal Yamaha kb but planning to buy a new one soon. Keep in touch and have a fab day, Betty x
