In 2000, Jamie Rowe hooked up with Vic Rivera, Scott Miller and Scott Novello to form AdrianGale, a melodic rock band similar in style to Guardian. While the band's lyrics were not explicitly Christian, they were generally positive in nature. The band released four studio albums and one live album before issues with their record label forced the band to leave the name behind. The new band, known as Crunch (also the title of AdrianGale's fourth and final studio album), recorded two EPs worth of material and were a featured band at the prestigious Firefest IV Festival in Nottingham, England in October of 2007 (their performance was filmed and released as a concert DVD by Transistor Pictures and the Firefest organization in 2010). In late 2012, Kivel Records was able to come to terms with Jamie and Vic Rivera and Adriangale was successfully resurrected, resulting in Jamie and the band quietly recording their latest album, "Suckerpunch!", which was released on September 27, 2013, coinciding with their comeback appearance at MelodicRockFest 3 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The album and performance were met with immediate praise from critics and fans alike, with Jamie and the band planning to continue recording and playing live as Adriangale. Read more on Last.fm.
