Misery Addict were an English hardcore punk band originating from Middlesbrough, formed in 2009[1][2].

History

Misery Addict formed in 2009 as a horror punk band. Early releases such as Misery Addict and The Deserter went largely unnoticed, with publication I Heart Noise noting "their contributions are decent but fairly generic-sounding"[3]. Following the release of the split EP Beasts/Misery Addict in 2010, Misery Addict focused on playing live, supporting acts such as AC4[4], Beasts[5], Castrovalva[6], The Computers[7], Eagulls [8] The Hangmen[9], The Plight[10] and Jason Welt[11], and playing charity gigs such as Rock for Heroes[12].

Hate Tape

The band released Hate Tape in 2011[13][14] in digital mediums and also via a limited cassette run. NARC Magazine called it "relentlessly energetic"[15], with Punktastic saying "full of ferociousness, each track, the longest being just over a minute long, brings the expected thrashing drums, fast paced riffs and forceful screams," although noting "it never really escapes the predictable"[16]. The tracks Lies (You've Turned This House into a House Of) and F-Bomb received radio play on BBC Introducing[17][18] the same year.

Split

The band split in 2012 following the departure of guitarist Adam Kennedy[19].
