Adam Ant is a British post-punk, new wave artist. He was the lead singer of Adam & the Ants until their split in early 1982, by which time they had recorded three studio albums.
Adam and the Ants were an English rock band that formed in London in 1977. The band existed in two versions, both fronted by Adam Ant, between 1977 and 1982. [1] The first phase began when the band were founded in May 1977 and were called the Ants until November of that year.
There are two versions of the cover. The first has Adam and the Ants across the top of the sleeve and the later version just Adam Ant. This is probably due to the confusion around the timing of Ant going solo, particularly as the song was performed by three fifths of the band: Ant, Pirroni and Hughes.
Manners & Physique is the fourth solo album by Adam Ant. [9] It was released in 1990 by MCA Records. [5] The single "Room at the Top" peaked at number 13 in the UK and number 17 in the United States.
This album repositioned Adam as a more mature pop-rocker, with crafted songs that featured acoustic guitars as prominently as electric ones. The album was a moderate hit in the USA and UK, as was the single "Wonderful" which became Ant's third American Top 40 hit single. This was the first Adam Ant album to be released in the USA before the UK.
Following the disbandment of the successful Adam and the Ants earlier in 1982, Adam Ant began a solo career with fellow "Ant" guitarist and songwriter Marco Pirroni.. Like their previous band, which achieved 7 top-10 hits (2 at No. 1) in the UK Singles chart and the best-selling album of 1981 (Kings of the Wild Frontier), Ant's debut single "Goody Two-Shoes" was a smash hit.
On 28 November 1980, Adam and the Ants released "Antmusic" (often stylised as 'Antmusic') as the third single in the UK from Kings of the Wild Frontier. [5] " Antmusic" peaked at No. 2 in the UK in January 1981, being held off the top by the re-release of John Lennon 's " Imagine " after his murder in New York City on 8 December 1980.
