成人论坛 Worldwide announces its first collaboration with 6 Music presenters Adam & Joe to make Adam and Joe's Song Wars Volume One, a 24-track album to be released as an exclusive digital release on Monday June 23.
听
The album marks the first time that 成人论坛 Worldwide's Music business has worked directly with artists to create a new release.
听
In a further new move, the album will initially only be available from the iTunes store in a landmark deal that will also see the comedy duo become 成人论坛 Worldwide's first exclusive iTunes artists.

Song Wars, which is the brainchild of Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish, is a popular and much loved feature of their Saturday morning show which airs on 成人论坛 6 Music.
听
It follows a simple premise: every week the presenters pit their musical talents against each other by composing and performing one song each, based around a common theme, such as public transport or climate change and then asking the listeners to pick a favourite.
听
In Joe's words: "It's a bit like Star Wars, only with songs instead of the stars."
听
The first 24 songs from the show are available on this album.
听
Paul Dempsey, Director of Audio & Music, 成人论坛 Worldwide said: "We're thrilled to be working with Adam & Joe on what is, effectively, their first foray into the commercial music world.
听
"Song Wars is a marvellously enduring and entertaining staple of their Saturday show, and we鈥檙e confident both fans and listeners will want to get their hands on what is their very first album."

Biography
Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish met aged 13 at school in London, where they became best friends and started making听stupid videos to amuse each other.
At 18 Joe went to study at Bournemouth Film School, while Adam became a 50s-DJing, bartending drifter, then went to Cheltenham Art School to study sculpture. Despite being separated by higher education, they continued their idiotic video-making enterprises.
In 1995, their submissions to Channel 4鈥檚 Takeover TV led to them being offered their own entertainment show. The Adam & Joe Show featured satires of contemporary pop culture and ran for four series.听The boys went on to work on听many other shows, both individually and together.
Joe has since hosted This Week Only on Channel 4 and Back Row on Radio 4. As a director, he worked on Channel 4 comedy shows Modern Toss and Blunder. He's recently co-written Ant Man, a film for Marvel Studios, with Edgar Wright and is writing another film for Film Four.
Adam has been concentrating on acting, starring in The Last Chancers, The IT Crowd, Time Trumpet and Rush Hour amongst others, as well as films Hot Fuzz, Stardust and Sundance hit Son Of Rambow. He is currently working on a pilot for his own show on 成人论坛3.
