Adam's Curse is a new band formed by ex Glyder guitarist and songwriter Bat Kinane. Glyder released five albums in the noughties and toured around Europe as a well-respected classic rock style outfit. They were signed to Bad Reputation France and SPV Germany. They shared stages with the likes of Metallica, Thin Lizzy and Slash to name a few. Since Glyder split Bat recorded some folk albums based around Irish local history and folklore. During this time, he was also collaborating with some other musicians.
Bat produced and recorded an EP with Adam's Curse Bassist, John Treacy of John’s solo material. The drummer Brendan Gilligan and Bat's history goes back 30 years when as young teenagers they played in a thrash metal band called Cursed Earth. About five years ago they played a one-off gig with some of the material off the new album, but life got in that way of them progressing any further. During the Covid epidemic Bat found himself with a lot of spare time and Adam's Curse was born. The style of the band goes back to Bat's classic rock roots with influences of Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher married with elements of modern and progressive rock. The band derives its name from the W.B. Yeats poem of the same name “Adam’s Curse” .
Most of the album was written during lockdown but some of the tracks are a little older. The album opening track, “A Vibe for Philo” is a homage to the annual tribute concert held in Dublin every year since Phil Lynott’s death.
