YeS! They're Adam's Ants, they're were here and were about to stay until Adam said 'Enough is enough'. But we still love them and sometimes we love them better than Adam himself! So here's my tribute to the magnificent five Adam And The Ants members, from 1980 to 1981, here they are lined up for your viewing pleasure:

One little note before you start reading: These profiles are taken from a teen magazine waaaaaaaay back in 1981, so it's not updated and maybe even changed a bit.

Oh, and Ant Lady, and Dandy Highwaygirl helped me with this page (pics and info). Thank you very much girls!
