Adelitas Way

1 upcoming festival

Las Vegas-formed hard rock outfit built around Rick DeJesus, a fixture of active-rock radio since the late 2000s — riff-first post-grunge with no apologies for it.

Adelitas Way formed in Las Vegas in 2006 around singer Rick DeJesus, who has remained the group's constant member through a long series of lineup changes. Their sound sits in the post-grunge and alternative-metal lane: mid-tempo, heavily distorted guitar riffs, big sung choruses and production aimed squarely at rock radio.

The band's self-titled debut arrived in 2009 and produced the singles "Invincible" and "Sick", the former picked up as theme music by WWE, which helped establish them with an audience beyond radio. Further albums followed through the 2010s, keeping to the same riff-driven formula, and the group has spent much of its career touring the US club and theatre circuit.
