MY DEVICE - new albumMY DEVICE - new album
Jumbo Fiasco, is out now and, quite rightly, everyone seems to bloody love it. Snaffle your copy here - 2008 isn't complete without it.
Life Is A Blast sounds a bit like Modest Mouse and Les Savy Fav having a penknife fight while Wires On Fire watch on. It feels like the band needed to grasp what they are capable of by throwing out rilebooks and losing it a bit. As a result, the insanity on display here is a mess of a different, and far more exciting, kind. Brad Barrett, Artrocker
My Device will be out on tour in the UK from the middle of February. Take note.
