Adorable

A fiercely loved shoegaze band from the early 1990's, Adorable formed in Coventry, England, in 1991. Although generally considered seminal shoegazers, the band often attempted to downplay the genre, despite their being a ferocious noise-pop group featuring the destinctive vocals of Piotr Fijalkowski. The band's unusually brash behavior often led to bad press, and perhaps their ultimate downfall with the fickle English press.

Adorable's 1993 debut record on the Creation label was entitled "Against Perfection", and is considered a modern classic for the genre. The followup, "Fake", in 1994, was a darker but more concise album, and was their final attempt at success. The group subsequently split that year.

Fijalkowski went on to form the group, Polak, which themselves released two albums.
