Originally called the Tooting Fruities the band mutated into the more punky sounding, if not commercially suicidal, the Drug Addix. They released one single before slimming down the name to become the Addix and released one further single before splitting up. Rick Smith (vox) said: "The Too Blind to See 7'' came out to great reviews and a entry into the Time Out top 10, but the week of it’s release ZigZag records promptly went bust!" Described in Zigzag 93 April 1979 as "a four piece raunch & roll band" the band were in essence hi octane rhythm and blues. Also not to be confused with the Suffolk Adicts who had changed their name to avoid confusion. So here we have two awesome rock'n'punk tracks which can be used on every KBD home made sampler. Ronnie Griffin (Drummer) sadly died from an overdose of prescription drugs.
