Deviant UK drops brand new EP ‘Speak Of The Devil’ – Out now
Deviant UK
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 “Larger Than Life” but that never materialised.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
