Biography

(2004 – present)

Since forming in January 2004, Deviant UK has established itself as a fast-rising star of the European Industrial/Darkwave scene. The band unleashed the long-awaited and frankly outstanding debut album ‘Barbed Wire Star’ in October 2006, spawning the club hits ‘Raptured Saints’ and the hugely popular ‘Access Denied!’ and the eagerly anticipated second album - the aptly titled ‘Very Bad Things’ is in production.

The band has performed at most of the major scene festivals including Wave Gotik Treffen, Nocturnal Culture Night, Black Celebration and Whitby Goth Weekend. In August 2008 they return to the outstanding Infest festival in the UK, hailed as ‘easily the most requested UK act in the history of Infest’.

The band is masterminded by singer, songwriter and devilish frontman Jay Smith (“a true showman with an ego the size of a planet” - Rocksound Magazine). Offering an arsenal of contemporary programming, soaring synthesisers, industrial percussion loops and cold vocals that coat each track in a layer of black ice, Smith’s idiosyncratic song writing ensures that each anthem is loaded with commercial hooks. Indeed, this dark synth pop science is what makes Deviant UK stand out from their peers. As Smith says, ‘there is no shame in writing a catchy tune.’

    Reminds you of Terminal Choice? No way, Terminal Choice slays this stuff any day of the week... however, I would say if you like one, you likely will like the other!

    tripodthunder = a new band? He's been going since 2004 and this is his 4th release (after a remix ep and a demo)

    Ahhh, a new band, My Black Heart is great, the rest is ok to good. The more aggressive songs are better, the rest sounds like Gary Numan (like everyone else says), not bad, but I like my music a little harder.

    Saw deviant UK supporting cruxshadows at dingwalls last year. It was epic, in addition a friend of a friend was there who happened to be some kind of devout christian... and she just LOVED Raptured Saints!... Her face was hilarious, put her in a mood for the whole night. Classic
