He wakes in a hospital, handcuffed to a bed and furious to be alive, haunted by the place he almost didn’t leave.

The Adicts at The Filmore: Every Circus Needs a Monkey

Punk is for all the misfits of all ages. From kids on their parents’ shoulders to seasoned silver-haired punks in studded battle vests, The Adicts’ recent Fillmore show proved punk remains one of the gracious spaces where generations of outsiders still belong together.
