Adam Staple

Newfoundland indie rock veteran Adam Staple returns with his second solo EP Quiet Part Loud.

Firmly grounded in alt-rock and pulling from influences as far-flung as <a href="spotify:artist:0K1q0nXQ8is36PzOKAMbNe" data-name="Spoon">Spoon</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7C4sUpWGlTy7IANjruj02I" data-name="Peter Gabriel">Peter Gabriel</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6QQuESLtKhAOcLW2TeWC2t" data-name="Art Blakey">Art Blakey</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:09kXLeOXRyfNQMXRaDO4qA" data-name="Nilüfer Yanya">Nilüfer Yanya</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6VeL8VhaMjHTPc5uovFl3h" data-name="The Damned">The Damned</a>, and Newfoundland traditional music, Quiet Part Loud continues previous EP SuperAntiHero’s exploration of Staple’s experiences with his “mental health skeets” - panic disorder, agoraphobia, and depression.

Written and recorded during 22-23, Staple performed, produced, and wrote (with the exception of a cover of Blondie’s “Rapture”) all the songs on the EP, which also features guest spots from Kelly Russell, Kelly-Ann Evans, and Jayne Batstone.

A veteran of the St. John’s indie scene for 35 years, Staple has previously written and released music as a member of Drive, Bash Brothers, McKudo, and Kelly Russell &amp; The Planks. He was the long-time drummer for singer/songwriter Sean Panting; and has appeared on recordings by Alan Doyle, Hey Rosetta, The Punters, and Amelia Curran, among others.
