Artist description Dark, reactive, thematic music...picking up on the lineage of conceptual rock layed out by the Beatles, Bowie, Costello, and on it goes...a power trio looking to rock themselves in a search for meaning and to share the emotions with all for whom it might resound. Devia builds a wall-of-sound with the simplest of all tools: gtr/bass/drums... upon a foundation of vocals, alot of vocals. Like a conversation with a lover...a loved one...melodies and lyrics run the gamut of emotions...truth. integrity. Devia is a search, and if anyone relates, it's all about humanity... searching...truly searching... within...and how that might or might not satisfy...and it's about accessibility of song structure, melody, lyrics...representing the essence of truly moving popular music...while still delivering killer 1st-listen memorable rock...

Press Reviews DEVIA • Live at The Spot, SUNY Stony Brook, NY …Then Devia took the stage. Having played here just recently, I knew what I was in for. This trio (guitar, bass, drums) strives for the depths of a Radiohead, though keeping it much more simple. Every song is delicately deliberate which gives them an air of seriousness. — The Freezer.com • 12/7/02 • Mike Vincenti. •
