Back in 2008, when Adele last joined us in our studio, she was a 20-year-old with a strong debut album and a number one hit in England. Two years later, she has accomplished wonders.

Since forming in 2002 local rockers STNNNG have consistently received critical acclaim for their hard, aggressive rocking and killer live shows.
