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 and Jason Welt,[10] and playing charity gigs such as Rock for Heroes.[11]
Hate Tape (2011)
The band released Hate Tape in 2011[12][13] in digital mediums and also via a limited cassette run. NARC Magazine called it "relentlessly energetic",[14] 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".[15] The tracks Lies (You've Turned This House into a House Of) and F-Bomb received radio play on BBC Introducing[16][17] the same year.
Hiatus and Return (2012-Present)
Guitarist Adam Kennedy announced his departure from the band in 2011. Despite auditioning potential replacements, the band couldn't find anyone who they felt fit the band and subsequently split[18][19].
