The best kept secret in music

Press


"A collection of short press quotes."

"My Device hit the stage like they've been waiting for months, tearing across the boards of KOKO and doing things to
their guitars that are illegal in some countries" - NME

“You can tell they’re a band who love distortion pedals and bending weird sounds out of their guitars. They’re not a
virtuoso band, which is cool, because rock’n’roll shouldn’t be about that, it should be about heart and passion and ideas
and romance” - James Jam, NME

“They’ve got great potential. The whole democracy of the internet has thrown up so much great new music” - Alan McGee

“If you locked the A-Team in a garage and they came out with an abrasive and yet sneakily melodic indie band, instead
of a tank with a flamethrower on the top, they might sound a bit like this” - Rock Sound
“They’re from Brighton, they rock and we should be dancing” - Disorder

“The scale of what’s on offer is actually staggering” - Play Music

“Crammed with the kind of songs that make you want to shout along and dance” – Subba Cultcha

“One of the best bands to recently break onto the scene” 4/5 – London Student
""My Device are, unsurprisingly, infinitely better than gathering together one hundred stereos and putting all of your
favourite albums on in unison." - Unsigned Showcase

"My Device have been bubbling underneath our local indie a-list for too long... one is struck by their instinctive mixing
of current trendy guitar rock sonics and more classic alternative influences... there's enough real variety here to sit
alongside much bigger bands" - Source

"Nervous System recalls the glory days of the post-punk explosion that spawned countless great bands who took the
energy of punk and combined it with intelligent lyrics and a songwriting craft that steered well away from the predictable"
- Latest 7

"...it makes the nerve endings twitch and spark spontaneously generated energy which demands to be released on the -
on any - dancefloor. Angry and life affirming, sarcastic and genuine, challenging and enjoyable listening" - Repeat Fanzine

"My Device have it all, and though diversity seems to be a dirty word in the A&R bible, whatever alley the big man with the
big cheque book guides them down should be a productive one. " - Logo

"They left the audience in awe" - Radio One Live Alternative

"My Device rocked the Freebutt to its core last night... they blasted out their songs with huge amounts of energy and menace"
- Radio One Live Alternative

"Manic, mighty, wild-eyed tunes and a frenetic stage show to boot" - Melting Vinyl

"Strong enough to hold their own against any of our homegrown risers... it's quality" - Drowned In Sound

"My Device have a raw energy and a kind of latent anarchy in their delivery that gives them a distinctive edge." - Insight
- Various (see list)

Bio

Forming 3 years ago out of a mutual desire to play good pop songs faster and louder than anyone else, My Device quickly garnered a reputation for their chaotic and intense live shows. After touring the UK extensively to promote their self-released EP, "Mendoza!" they were picked form a list of 10,000 other acts as the winners of the prestigious NME.com's SONY WALKMAN BREAKING BAND competion. The Panel of judges were comprised of some of the most prominant figures in British music, such as former head of Creation Records Alan McGee, and members of Bloc Party. The prize for winning was to support Kasabian at the massive NME.com 10th Birthday party at KOKO in London. Since then the band have released their debut album "Nervous System" through Indie-legends Shifty Disco Records, which was met with extremely positive reviews, and their new single "Eat Lead" will be coming out at the end of February. Advance reviews of "Eat Lead" have already sited the band as "One of the most excitingb new bands in Britain"...(Disorder Magazine).
