The Adult Net

The Adult Net were a British indie pop band formed by British-based American singer and guitarist Brix Smith in 1984, while she was a member of the Fall.

The group were initially assisted by several members of the Fall, including Simon Rogers, Craig Scanlon and Karl Burns. The group issued four singles in 1985/86; Scanlon ceased playing after the debut single, and Burns left a single later. In 1988, the Smith/Rogers duo recruited former Smiths members Craig Gannon, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce to fill in the line-up, but by the time the group recorded their only album in 1989, Rogers, Rourke and Joyce had all left. The final Adult Net line-up was a quartet of Smith, Gannon, former Blondie member Clem Burke and the The member James Eller. After the band's 1989 debut album The Honey Tangle failed to chart, their label Fontana Records released them from their contract in 1990, and the group disbanded.
