Hailing its roots from gritty rural Iowa, Fatal Addiction embodies hard and true rock and roll unspoiled by the corporate agenda. Shunning the suits in the studio, they chose to create an album their fans demanded: one that is raw and genuine. Influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Stone Temple Pilots, and Zakk Wylde, the band is guaranteed to deliver one loud and heavy dose of the cure to musical restraint.

Choosing to ignore corporate America, and instead begin the new rock rebellion from the muddy shores of the Des Moines River, Fatal Addiction has built a large and dedicated fan base solely through their own efforts. High-energy bar shows, bike rallies, and all-night parties along the river have fisted the ever-jealous eye of mainstream music, and fueled this grassroots revolution.

The launching of Fatal Addiction’s self-titled debut album has solidly established their presence as a rock powerhouse with diverse musical talent. Connecting the heartfelt with in-your-face rock and roll, the band represents the word genuine to its innermost core. In between the album’s tracks redemption is found, whether through introspective contemplation, the passing of the bottle, or the allegiance of an intense crowd. Read more on Last.fm.
