A.D.A.M. Music Project

The PUNCH OUT album features a diverse range of songs, including "Black Heart", inspired by the character 'Diablo' from the video game Diablo, "Two Worlds", drawn from the character 'Shadow' in Sonic the Hedgehog, "Take Until They Break", influenced by 'Team Rocket' from Pokémon, "Killing Machine", written about 'Pathfinder' from Apex Legends, "Killer Bee", inspired by and written about Cammy from Street Fighter, "Back for More", penned about a Smash Bros video game tournament gone bad, "Mind of a Killer", crafted about any video game character killed off in the initial story plot, "Voice of Destiny", composed about Peter Dinklage who voiced the ghost in Destiny 1, "Immortal Machine", created about Shodan from System Shock, "Dig Duggin", written about Dig Dug, and "Bright Lights", a celebration of all video game heroes everywhere. Lead singer Adam DeGraide adds, “PUNCH OUT is hands down one of my favorite albums we’ve created so far. It dives into uncharted territory for songwriting, like the brooding intensity of Black Heart, inspired by the depths of Diablo’s world, the fierce and dynamic Killer Bee capturing Cammy’s spirit, the chaotic frustration of Back for More reflecting a Smash Bros disaster, and the haunting Mind of a Killer exploring early video game deaths, then flips the script entirely with the uplifting energy of Bright Lights which is a positive ‘save the world’ type of anthem for all the video game heroes out there. And when you just want an unrelenting, face-smashing battle cry, nothing hits harder than the title track, PUNCH OUT—it’s a sonic knockout that ties it all together.”
