The Inadequates as they are now formed in May '02.

The band consists of

Ian Perkin - Guitar & lead vocals

Michael Barrow - Bass

Colin Jones - Drums

Ian has been playin the guitar since he was 7, he's busked on the streets to the annoyance of the inhabitants of local areas, and was once the member of a mod/indie band.

Mikes been playing bass since Ian became homeless, an had to sleep on his floor, they became mates and played punk songs together. Prior to this Mike was in a band with Col, which was somethin that never actually left the practise room (Mikes house)

When they formed in May, it started with another drummer, who left after 2 practises, and to carry of practising, Colin moved from 2nd guitar to learn drums.

The Inadequates, being heavily influenced by the Ramones have a similar style, 1-2-3-4, simplistic guitar riffs and drum beats.

Most of the songs are written by the whole of the band, music and lyrics.

Beween the band, there is an obsession for films, 80s sci-fi, 50s rock n roll, The Beach Boys, Converse, beer, Ramones cover bands (Huntingtons, Beatnik Termites, The Queers, Screeching Weasel), offensive lyrics (Macc lads and Peter & The test tube babies style), lazyness, and a no sympathy for anything attitude.

What the Inadequates are trying to do is to promote their style of music, in Liverpool and Britain, its often described as pop punk, but then that makes these bands sound like their big influences are the MTV/Kerrang style pop punk, as you see from the influences above it's not like that. If this style was big in Liverpool we'd have more of the bands we enjoy adding the city to their tour dates, an hopefully encourage more British bands to do what were doing.  This needs an update, but i.....cant....do.....it, just come see us live, give us cheap things, say were crap, tell ian to stop scratching his nose, ask us why we cant keep in time.....
