Attitude Adjustment is an American crossover thrash band from the San Francisco Bay Area. Their debut album, American Paranoia, is considered to be an early "crossover" between hardcore punk and thrash metal. [2] [3]
The band was formed by Chris Kontos, Eric Smith and Rick Strahl in early 1985, with Nick Koljian briefly on vocals. The lineup was changed with the addition of Kevin Reed on vocals. This lineup played a number of initial shows at Ruthie's Inn, the New Method, the Mabuhay Gardens and other Bay Area venues. Several months later, Kevin Reed was replaced by Andy Andersen on vocals and Chris Scaparro joined as a second guitarist. They shortly went into the studio to record the "Dead Serious Demo" in 1985. The demo was recorded by Doug Piercy at the Turk Street Practice Pad.
In 1986 and 1987, Attitude Adjustment played frequent gigs throughout California. They played alongside bands such as Forbidden (Known as Forbidden Evil at that time), Vio-lence, Sacrilege, Possessed, Hirax, Death Angel, R.K.L., Dr. Know, Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, D.R.I., Discharge, UK Subs, Neurosis, The Exploited and Operation Ivy, among others. The band finally released their debut album, American Paranoia, released by Pusmort Records, is considered to be an early "crossover" between hardcore punk and thrash metal.
Records that crystallize this definition for me are: Attitude Adjustment, American Paranoia
As previously reported, "Leaders Not Followers 2" will include the following cuts:... 04. ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT - "Dope Fiend"
