Notable --Adelphi hopes to start recording its first full album in April, Sophocles said. Lichtfuss joined two years ago, just before the band signed to Drive-Thru Records. Since then, they've been playing out and finding their sonic niche, Sophocles said.

Quotable --"Once Kevin joined, it was sort of like a snowball effect - we really started looking at new music and maturing," Sophocles said. "We just really mellowed out and started listening to more melodic music.'"
