Adam Again was an American rock band active from 1982 until the death of founder, leader and vocalist Gene Eugene in 2000. Other band members included Riki Michele on vocals, Paul Valadez on bass, Jon Knox on drums, and Greg Lawless on guitar. Dan Michaels often played saxophone.

Thom Jurek of AllMusic described the group as "inventive and artfully canny."^[1] Mark Allan Powell maintained that the group "priortized musical excellence and lyrical depth over commercial appeal or even accessibility."^[2] The band never achieved commercial viability and disbanded when Eugene was found dead in his recording studio on March 20, 2000 from an undiagnosed brain aneurism.^[3] Valadez died on September 20, 2013.^[4]
