Artist: Adelitas Way Members: Rick DeJesus, Chris Iorio, Keith Wallen, Trevor Stafford, Derek Johntson Latest Album: Self-Titled In Stores: 07/14/2009 "Invincible" isn't just the first single from edgy Las Vegas rock quintet Adelitas Way's self-titled Virgin/EMI Music debut album, it's also an apt description for singer Rick DeJesus' determination to succeed and overcome his background on the mean streets of a Philadelphia neighborhood ravaged by drugs and poverty. A shredding, bluesy rocker, in which DeJesus explains he went for "that Incredible Hulk feeling," he calls it "a song that pumps you up, a crowd-pleaser. It's about our attitude: I'm not going to let anyone stand in the way of my dreams." Adelitas Way--which also includes lead guitarist Chris Iorio, guitarist Keith Wallen, drummer Trevor Stafford and bassist Derek Johntson--are about to see those wishes come true. Produced by the Grammy-nominated Johnny K (Disturbed, Plain White T's, 3 Doors Down), the disc offers a variety of empowering and sexy rockers, spotlighting the shredding blues style of teenage axe-slinger Iorio and the propulsive, grunge-like drums of Huntington Beach, CA native Stafford, a veteran of Ozzfest band Shuvel. N.Y. bassist Johnston and West Virginia guitarist Wallen complete the line-up, bringing a combination of indie, hardcore and classic rock influences to the band's distinctive sound. We sat down with Rick to ask some pretty dumb questions: 1. Time I normally go to bed? 2. How many car wrecks have you been in? 3. When is the last time you played air guitar? 4. What's the worst injury you have had? 5. Innie or outtie? 6. How many drinks does it take before you get drunk? And of what? 7. Do you have any pets? 8. Motel or hotel? 9. Last movie you watched? |
