Arriving
just in time to save your weekend, My Device are a frantic and energetic
power-trio out of Brighton. Although not looking a day over 16 the band
are true veterans of the Brighton music scene. Going criminally unnoticed
for over 5 years My Device make controlled chaos full of grinding guitars,
frenzied drums and thick pounding bass that gets you dancing as much
as it gets you rocking. Live the band is a wonder to behold and was
recently hailed as “Brighton’s best kept secret” by
the cities ‘Source Magazine’. Then in 2006 the world finally
caught up and My Device where named the NME’s Walkmen Breaking
Bands winner, battling past 6000 other entrants.
As
a formidable 2006 drew to a close My Device released their anthemic
download single ‘I was Brave Today’, as well as nationally
releasing their debut album ‘Nervous System’, a frantic
half-hour of beautiful racket with a rock hard nutty centre.
2007
is lining up to be the year of ‘the ‘Device’. With
no time to detox My Device are heading straight-out on the road with
the equally incredible ‘The Race’ for a week of shindigs
celebrating ten years of the illustrious Shifty Disco label. And as
if it that isn’t enough the NME recently invited My Device to
play their infamous NME Shockwave Awards Show at the Brixton Academy
with none-other than Babyshambles.
But
it doesn’t stop there! Oh no. On February 19th 2007 My Device
are unleashing their highly anticipated and Radio 1 endorsed double
A-side single ‘Eat Lead/I Was Brave Today’ through OIB Records,
their first record since Nervous System. ‘Eat Lead’ is 3
minutes of pure disjointed pop magic. It’s a true indie disco
anthem full of yelps, hooks and infectious beats that will never fail
to lift you up and get you moving.
Limited
to just 500 hand numbered copies the 7” comes on beautiful transparent
purple vinyl with hand drawn labels all individually drawn and personalized
by the band themselves.
