Adult DVD – sign to Fat Possum and share new single ‘Real Tree Lee’

Adult DVD today announce their signing to legendary independent label Fat Possum. The Leeds based six-piece also today share new single Real Tree Lee which was premiered yesterday evening on Huw Stephens’ BBC 6Music show. Real Tree Lee is a glimpse of what to expect from Adult DVD in 2026 – bold, forward-thinking music from one of the UK’s most hotly tipped new bands. 

The band will soon embark on a UK tour with full dates below. Their 3-night residency at London’s Shacklewell Arms sold out in quick time with their word-of-mouth reputation as a formidable live band rapidly gaining momentum. A relentless touring schedule in 2025 saw them entrance crowds across the country, including at Glastonbury, Green Man, End Of The Road and more. In March they will head to the USA to perform at SXSW.

On ‘Real Tree Lee’ the band say –

“Lee is a guy that we never want to become, let’s make that clear!  This tune goes out to all the blokes who keep it blokey and delve too far into the cretin side of the internet, guys that believe every sub Reddit post they read, dudes that base their entire lives around some bonkers right wing conspiracy and live in fear of 5G. When it comes to Lee, what you see isn’t a what you get, and what you get is much darker than you’d expect“
