## History

#### Beginnings & The Legend of Ye (2018)

The band was formed in Page, Arizona in May of 2018, after andrewnow and Ca$ho were making songs using Smule Autorap, a mobile app for iOS and Android. After making a couple of songs that sounded good, they eventually decided to form a band, and after recording more songs sometime in December, they eventually decided to release an album. The album is known as The Legend of Ye and it was released on December 21, 2018 on SoundCloud, and later, Bandcamp. Ca$ho came up with the name of the album, as a reference to American rapper, Kanye West, which the band calls one of their biggest inspirations. You can hear the naming process of the album on the final track off the album, Oops... Accidentally put this in our album.. Sorry., which is a song accidentally recorded and put on the album.

The band released 3 singles from the album, Where Are Your Fingers?, They're Dead, and Cows Are Dead.

#### Possible second album & Touch The Buglight (2019–present)

On the 10th of March 2019, the band had made a Twitter account, on the same day they also released The Legend of Ye on Bandcamp. Also on the same day, they had announced production of a new compilation album through Twitter, but gave no release date, or any details.

On July 16th 2019, the band had posted a tweet hinting an upcoming Powell Adobe album. However, it is very likely they were talking about the compilation album they were working on at the time, rather than a second album.

On July 23rd, 2019, the band uploaded the songs "Where Are Your Fingers?" and "Plane Ride" to YouTube, leading fans to believe The Legend of Ye would be entirely uploaded to YouTube, however following the upload of these 2 songs, the band stopped posting to YouTube.

On October 27th, 2019, the band surprise announced that their compilation album, now known as "Touch The Buglight" was releasing that night. As they said, the album was released the same night, on SoundCloud, and Bandcamp. The album featured only 2 songs, "POOCANO" and "Child Abuse".

The band was suspended from Twitter for "controversial statements", mainly tweets relating to the KKK and Al-Qaeda. Powell Adobe has yet to return to Twitter, and band member andrewnow said in an interview: "We have no plans to return to Twitter, they don't want us, we don't want them". In this interview, he also reaffirmed that the second album is in planning.

On February 27th, 2022, the rest of the Powell Adobe songs from The Legend of Ye were released on to YouTube, along with both songs from Touch The Buglight, after they had many requests to do this from the fans.
