A Violent Happy Place

2019 album from the Oakland, CA punk/metal/rock 'n' roll outfit Dopesick. Lead guitarist and main songwriter, Adam Albright has been the one constant since founding the band in 1997. Originally a member of Bay Area post-thrash band, Skinlab, Albright was hindered from early touring with the band because of a prison sentence. In prison, he heard the term "dope sick" from a cellmate, and was inspired to make this the name for his next project. With the troubles of the past behind him and a new lease on life, Adam Albright and Dopesick have returned triumphantly in 2019.
