Adam Again was a rock band led by vocalist Gene Eugene, with Riki Michele on vocals, Paul Valadez on bass, Jon Knox on drums, Greg Lawless on guitar, and Dan Michaels on saxophone.

Gene Eugene's mystical voice—often mistaken for R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe—remained the least-changing element in a band that seemed to have trouble feeling comfortable limited to one style. Melting soul, funk, rock and acoustic influences into its own inimitable style, Adam Again seemed to pay little attention to trends and never seemed to achieve commercial viability. The band quit touring and recording together in 2000 after Eugene died in his recording studio, the "fabulous" Green Room.
