[1] The initial lineup included Jake Starr (vocals), Bill Crandall and Ray Wiley (guitar), Phil Munds (bass), and Tom Barrick (drums).
There were many personnel changes in the band's early years, and Starr and Barrick were the only remaining original members by the time of their first full-length album.
They were nominated for several Washington Area Music Awards in the Hard Rock categories and won five times.

The final Adam West album, ESP: Extra Sexual Perception, was released in 2008 and featured the lineup of Starr, bassist Steve (Fisher), drummer Jim Sciubba, and guitarist Mario Trubiano.
