Guaranteed to bring the party to any room, Leeds-based six-piece Adult DVD are a dance rock collective whose live shows have become infamous for their euphoric atmosphere. Undeniably catchy, their tracks are packed full of infectious grooves and danceable beats, combining the crowd-pleasing choruses of indie with the floor-filling synths, drum and bass of acid house.
