Las Vegas-based Adelitas Way's polished, chrome-laden modern rock draws its water from the same angsty, aggro-well as bands like Hinder, Godsmack, Burn Halo, Avenged Sevenfold, and Three Days Grace. Bolstered by the admittedly infectious single "Invincible," which wound its way onto the pop culture carousel through TV as the theme song for the weekly World Wrestling Entertainment Superstars show, the band's eponymous debut sizzles with rage, sex, and regret, occasionally veering into "pick yourself up and dust off your coat"-style self-improvement. Founder and lead singer Rick DeJesus sports a familiar, even-handed set of pipes that can go from full-throated metalcore scream to emo crooning at the drop of a needle, and the band kicks up enough noise to satisfy even the most dogmatic hard rock junkie, but Adelitas Way's focus is clearly on the commercial side of success, not the artistic, resulting in what feels more like a calling card than a lightning strike. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi

Adelitas Way Notes
"Invincible," the first single from the self-titled Virgin Records/EMI Music debut album by edgy, Las Vegas rock quintet Adelitas Way, is an apt description for singer Rick De Jesus's determination to succeed and overcome his background on the mean streets of a Philadelphia neighborhood ravaged by drugs and poverty.
Produced by Grammy®-nominated Johnny K (Disturbed, Plain White Ts, 3 Doors Down), the recording offers a variety of empowering and sexy rockers, spotlighting the shredding blues style of teenaged axe-slinger Chris Iorio and the propulsive, grunge-like drumming of Trevor Stafford, a veteran of Ozzfest band, Shuvel.
New York bassist Derek Johnston and guitarist Keith Wallen complete the line-up, bringing a combination of indie, hardcore, and classic rock influences to the band's distinctive sound.
