How did u get the name Adema?

We were all sittin' around in our pratice studio and a friend said the name Edema. It was a reference to a medical condition. We liked the name and changed the spelling so that people wouldn't think it meant sweeling of the skin.

Where are you from and how tuff was it to get signed?

We are form Bakersfield C.A. and it took us lik 5 years of hard gigging and demos

You have alot of ex-members of bands in your band how did it all get put together?

Mike Ransom and I were in Adema, and the other members quit. We kept the name. We called Kris to see if he wanted to do a demo for us. He liked the music sooo much that he quit video drone and joined adema, Tim Fluckey and Dave DeRoo were in Juice and that band broke up and they joined Adema

On the CD: what is "Everyone"? Who are you singing it about?

"Everyone" is about all the people I knew who would blame everyone else for their problems. I was sick of all the people counting on others for success instead of finding it for themselves. I was pointing out my problems to myself, putting blame on myself as well
