A London squat party is not a party unless you forget almost everything that occurs. As it happens when two like minded musicians, Guz and Justin randomly met at a party in notorious east London, apart from a lengthy argument about music and the promise of meeting up with clearer minds, little can be remembered... Immediately, hanging out together turned into mini adventures around the bars of Camden, Hoxton and Soho - anywhere still serving booze with a good DJ. Ideas were developed and the motley pair turned motley duo - The New Devices.
The New Devices write songs about debauched nights, mischief and sometimes the regrettable mornings after. Listening to them, you can clearly hear the dance influences and the energetic beats driving the songs, but
there's additionally a wide rock'n'roll soundscape offering the big
catchy choruses that could fill football terraces and stadiums. The live
performance cements The New Devices sound, using live instruments and
Justin as the killer frontman. In this digital age where increasingly you are your own DJ and the shuffle option on your iPod is your main form of musical adventure, The New Devices offer that thrill of 'where am I going to be taken next'
Hi Guys, caught your small set at the Bar Music Hall and was completely blown away. Your live sound is awesome and, although I had never heard of you, before that evening, I want to see and hear more. Absolutly stunning and you deserve to make it to the very top!
Aha! There you are MR Stones! I've been trying to add you as a friend for weeks. I look forward to listening to your music. I'll be in touch very soon bro. ML-B. x
