Bad Boy single release

In 1983, the band released ” Bad Boy “, their highest-charting single. The success of that single led to the band signing with Warner Bros. Records offshoot Sire Records . At this time, the band changed their name to ADX at the behest of Sire, as the name the Adicts was considered to have too much of a negative connotation. The relationship with Sire only lasted for two singles, “Tokyo” (produced by Vapors frontman David Fenton in 1984) and a cover of Marlene Dietrich ‘s ” Falling in Love Again ” in 1985. Their third album, Smart Alex , featuring previous singles “Bad Boy” and “Tokyo”, was issued in 1985 on Razor Records. The band’s third release of that year was the Bar Room Bop EP, for which they returned to Fallout. Their fourth album, 1986’s Fifth Overture , was initially released only in Germany, and did not see release in their home country until the following year.
