New Device are a hard rock band from South East England, UK. Influenced by the stadium rock giants of the late 80’s and early 90’s such as Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith and Metallica, New Device manage to achieve a sound where so many others fail; authentic, solid, blues based hard rock, written by real life long fans of rock music.
New Device was formed in London, England, in October 2007. Each member had previously met or played in bands with one another enjoying success releasing music internationally and touring with the likes of Bullet For My Valentine, Funeral For A Friend and My Chemical Romance, and although New Device is in its infancy, they have without a doubt earned their stripes on road.
The band almost immediately entered the studio on October 2007 to record four tracks with Romesh Dodangoda (Funeral for a Friend, Bullet For My Valentine) at Long Wave Studio, Cardiff. Over the course of a week they produced future hits - On Fire, Never Say Never, Heaven Knows and Takin’ Over. These recordings quickly gained interest and they were swiftly signed to Powerage Records.
They began the recording of their debut album in June 2008, at Outhouse Studios, Reading, UK, with long term friend Ryan Richards of Funeral for a Friend behind the drum kit. Mixing duties were handled stateside in Los Angeles by Cameron Webb (Motorhead, Tenacious D, Godsmack).
With high hopes and an album full of songs that have the potential to pioneer a new rock movement, the band is now ready to start taking care of business and hit road, bringing a stadium like presence to wherever they play.
not a lot really, college, a few odd gigs, nothing worth mentioning. u? im hoping to get the HB tickets soon but need my mates to get me their money! andy
Thanks for correcting me. I'm dosed up on drugs (the cold and flu kind) and clearly they have mashed with my eye sight/brain! Might still make it though, you never know!
Good luck with the Gun tour guys, I'll see you at the London show. I see you've added The Answer in Oxford, nice going! Not sure if I am free as December is getting mad, but I shall check and if I am will let you know, as it's easy to get to from Shepherd's Bush on the Oxford Tube coach!
Aye ! been partying a bit too hard actually lol. need to cool down for a bit. aw you looking forward to touring! bet it will be great, im excited about the gig! x
Hey :) London Underworld show, been spending my evenings outside clubs handing out flyers for the tour! Very excited about it! Hope you're tour goes well up until then, and hope to see you at the show! Don't go crazy... much x
So I am now pondering the fesibility of photographing/watching your support slot with Gun at Islington and then going straight down to Brixton for Skunk Anansie in the same night, cos the Academy has decent lighting and a good size stage! I am thinking it is do-able!
