Dropping today, ‘Are You Crazy?’, the band’s fourth release this year, arrives just ahead of their highly-anticipated sophomore album. ADRD have landed with a powerhouse anthem, one that’s not just another infectious pop-rock hit but also contains a heartfelt message to the world, inspiring awareness ahead of May’s Mental Health Awareness Month.
If you’re a fan of ADRD’s iconic fusion of pop and rock, then ‘Are You Crazy?’ will not disappoint.

Guitars are massive, soaring to dizzying heights over a thundering rhythm section and crowd controlling choruses. The vocals are powerful and emotive, encouraging listeners to join in a cathartic release of energy and emotion.
Ahead of Mental Health Awareness month, ADRD’s front man Adam King talks about the importance of discussing mental health, and the effect it has had on himself personally, “mental illness is often misunderstood; people can be quick to dismiss it as something that’s ‘all in your head’. But the truth is, conditions like depression and anxiety are the result of complex chemical imbalances in the brain that affect your entire body. As someone who has struggled with clinical depression for many years, I can attest to the fact that it’s not just a matter of feeling ‘sad’ or ‘down’ – it’s a pervasive feeling of unease and anxiety that can make even the simplest tasks seem insurmountable.”
He continues, “for me, having the support of my loved ones has been crucial in managing my depression. And while the medication isn’t the right solution for everyone, it has helped me to balance my serotonin levels and improve my mood and overall well-being. So if you’re struggling with mental illness, know that you’re not alone – and that there is help out there. Remember: a problem shared is a problem halved.”
After supporting Scouting for Girls on their UK tour, the band played a showcase in LA and supported Roachford on his European tour in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. ADRD’s live shows are a testament to the band’s ability to connect with their fans and spread their message of hope and positivity. And with the release of ‘Are You Crazy?’, the band has added another powerful track to their repertoire.
So what are you waiting for? Give ‘Are You Crazy?’ a listen and experience the infectious, anthemic lyricism that has made Aliens Don’t Ring Doorbells a name to watch in the pop-rock scene.
