Adhesive was a renowned Swedish punk rock band known for their engaging melodies, sharp lyrics, and energetic live performances that gained them a dedicated following in the European punk scene. Active primarily during the late 90s, they cemented their place in punk rock history through a combination of socially conscious songwriting and an unmistakable knack for crafting infectious punk anthems. The band was composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Robert Samsonowitz, guitarist Mikael Andersson, bassist Geir Pedersen, and drummer Mathias Andersson, each contributing to the distinct sound and dynamic that characterized Adhesive's music.

The band's discography featured several influential albums and EPs, with "Sideburner" being one of their most celebrated works. Released in 1996, it showcased their ability to blend melodic hooks with punk rock intensity. With records like "From Left to Right" and songs such as "No Better / No Worse," they continued to address themes of personal struggle, political awareness, and societal critique, resonating with a wide range of listeners and retaining relevance well into the 21st century. Although Adhesive disbanded in 2002, their impact was felt long after, and they briefly reunited for charity shows in 2017. Recent releases such as "Resolving Neighbour Disputes: Adhesive Live In Oslo" and live recordings like "On a Pedestal (Live)" and "We Got the Beat" have served to revive fan interest and introduce their potent live act to new generations, securing their legacy as a cornerstone of the European punk scene.
