Adult DVD are a six-piece collective from Leeds, UK, blending infectious indie hooks with the sweat and pulse of a late-night dance floor. Known for their euphoric, high-energy live shows — which often feel more like club nights than concerts — the band have carved a name for themselves as one of the UK’s most exciting new acts.
Their self-produced EP Next Day Shipping marked a major breakthrough, with lead single “Do Something” earning a spot on the BBC 6 Music B-List and support from Dork, The Line of Best Fit, Clash, and Far Out Magazine. The group’s blend of sharp humour, bold songwriting, and groove-driven instrumentals bridges indie rock and acid-house influences, creating something that’s both intelligent and irresistibly fun.
After closing 2024 with a packed show at London’s legendary 100 Club, they opened 2025 with a sold-out Line Of Best Fit “5 Day Forecast” showcase — and two consecutive sell-outs at Belgrave Music Hall, where their set morphed from a sweaty indie gig into a full-scale dance experience.
“Because I Like It” captures the core of Adult DVD’s sound: playful, propulsive, and rhythmically magnetic. Driven by shimmering synths, wiry guitars, and chant-ready vocals, the track bottles the adrenaline rush of their live shows into a studio recording that feels alive and urgent.
It’s both a declaration of independence and a celebration of pure pleasure — a tongue-in-cheek anthem about doing what you love without apology. As with much of their catalogue, “Because I Like It” thrives on duality: witty and weird, but grounded in hooks so good they demand a dance floor.
With momentum building and new material on the way, Adult DVD are fast becoming the poster band for the next wave of post-indie hedonism — where guitars meet groove, and irony meets euphoria.
