The Adventure Babies were a Manchester-based Brit Pop Band founded by Matt Tedstone, Dave Atherton and Jez Bramwell in 1990. The band had three releases on Factory:
* "The Camper Van" EP (FAC 319, 1991)
* "Laugh" album (FACT 335, 1992)
* "Barking Mad" single (FACT 347, 1992) [cite web| url = http://www.vinylnet.co.uk | title = Vinylnet Record Label Discographies]

Possibly their greatest claim to fame was being the last band signed by Manchester legend Factory Records before it went bankrupt. Following Factory's bankruptcy in 1992 they continued playing and seeking a new record contract for a year. In June 2005, they reformed for one final gig.

To tie in with the final gig a second release album was issued, on CD only.
*"Once Upon A Time The End" album (2005)
