Devin Therriault opens up about rock 'n' roll, the Strokes, and the case for MySpace's continued relevance. One of my favorite debut records from this year was Devin Therriault's solo record as Devin, Romancing, a smart blast of infectiously fun, hook-laden punk-infused, rock n' roll. After a slew of very strong performances, he caught the attention of Frenchkiss records, who immediately worked out a deal with him. At the midway point this year, he's showed no signs of slowing, delivering high-intensity live shows (including several high-profile SXSW gigs) and has been continuously...

Quem: Devin Onde: Nova York, EUA Gênero: Rock, punk Vibrante, energético e transgressor. Devin Therriault faz um rock cru, com influências que vão desde o The Stooges e Lou Reed , até o Strokes, sem se esquecer do visual de Elvis . Como um passeio pela história do rock, pegando vários momentos, o músico mostra baterias fortes, baixos marcantes, guitarras altas e vocais gritados. Não é inovador ou novo, é basicamente o melhor do que já fez sucesso no passado em uma roupagem mais urgente. [...]
I don't get a chance to listen to every album in every genre that pops into my inbox because there' so damn much. I took a chance on Devin and was reminded of my younger days, catching up on old fashioned rock n roll. The sound is signature rock music with inflections of punk and pop. By the sounds of this album, I bet they'll be opening for the black keys or another group with similar raw sounds. I rarely tell people to stop everything and [...]

It's a British Invasion! (Well, sort of.) Thursday, June 7, English trio The Cribs storm the Black Cat and wouldn't you know it, we've got a pair of tickets for one of you to win to Thursday's show. When you're Indie and English, you basically have a sizable portion of the music industry in the palm of your hand. This is especially true for The Cribs, whose brand new release, In the Belly of the Brazen Bull is their second consecutive Top 10 UK album. "Come On, Be a No-One" is the first single [...]
Looking to the past for inspiration is common place in modern music, after all, isn’t everything is borrowed? However, 2012 is unlikely to throw up another artist so keen to embrace the past than young New Yorker, Devin . Just a quick glance at the cover of Romancing and these suspicions are confirmed, it is an unashamed throw back to rock ‘n roll of yesteryear, an ode to the days of The Stones, The Ramones & New York Dolls. As the album and song titles like ‘Born to Cry’ ‘You’re Mine’ and ‘In My Solitude’ [...]

Meet DEVIN : aka Elvis Costello meets Julian Casablancas meets James Dean . A pretty impressive comparison for a guy who has only just released his debut album. Penning most of the album at his warehouse job in Brooklyn, DEVIN and his punk-infused classic rock literally screams New York. The Triple J feature album, Romancing , takes you somewhere in time between a Stooges concert and a performance by The Strokes , complete with a New York skyline backdrop. Cue leather jackets. [...]

" Masochist " by Brooklyn's Devin is as fresh as a slap in a face from start to finish. Makes me want to yell dance around and drop some curse words here and there. The sound is just no fuss straight rock and roll. Reminds me of one of my favorite Brooklyn bands Baby Brother , unapologetically loud, energetic, and too much fun. Devin's debut album "Romancing" came out on April 10th via Frenchkiss records and has been on heavy rotation for me. Check out the video [...]
Devin ’s debut full-length album, Romancing , is out now on Frenchkiss Records. The video for the album’s first single Masochist . This song kicks some serious ass. There's been too much mid-tempo music in college radio for too long. Hopefully Devin will help light a fire under people's asses and we can put the rawk back into indie rock.

Do you like your music to rock out hard and fast? Well then, New York's Devin is just the man for you. The Brooklyn musician dishes out pure unadulterated rock & roll that sounds passionate and genuine. It is a volatile cocktail of rhythm & blues, soul, punk and raw energy topped off with screechy punk-tinged vocals. His latest single 'Masochist' sums up [...]

The VPME Stealing Sheep. There's been baaaaa-rly a squeak from us about Liverpool's hotly tipped, harmony drenched, psych folk, dream pop trio Stealing Sheep, but don't ewe wooly we aim to set things straight and stoically resist resorting to infantile puns about sheep. They've recently uploaded an evocative new video for their track "I am The Rain" which is a bit M. Night Shyamalan's "the Villag e" meets "the Wicker Man" as well as recording a quite stunning session for Marc [when did that beard [...]

Yes, this is more like it! Scuzzy, snarling, heaps of restless energy and a genuine sense of old-school rock and roll; Masochist is the first UK release from Devin , a New York solo artist. Out on April 23rd, the single will be followed a week later by his debut LP ' Romancing' which is set for release via Frenchkiss on April 30th.
