Deviant UK, the darkwave / industrial solo project of Jay Smith, returns with a brand new 9-track EP, “Speak Of The Devil”. On this new EP you’ll find the project’s two biggest hits (“Access Denied!” and “Raptured Saints”) both from the debut album “Barbed Wire Star” in a re-recorded version. Also included is a cover of Robbie Williams’ “Let Me Entertain you”, reimaging the song as a dark electro dancefloor track.

“Speak Of The Devil” is out now on CD and in download and streaming format.

Deviant UK formed in January 2004 as the solo project of Jay Smith. The project’s debut album, “Barbed Wire Star” followed in 2006. Subsequent releases included “Very Bad Things” and the 2014 EP “Cracks Start to Show”. There were rumours of new material to be released as “The Trials of Eyeliner: Volume One” but that never materialised.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
