History
[edit]Originally, the band name was going to be Grandimart or Earlidaddy, a combination of both band's names. However, they decided to name the band after a man they met at a museum in Los Angeles who introduced himself as Admiral Radley. After helping him with a splinter in his thumb they told them about their new band and said they thought of the name "Earlidaddy". The man remarked that that is a terrible name and said they should call them self's Admiral Radley. [5]
