MY DEVICE'S NEW ALBUM "JUMBO FIASCO" IS OUT NOW - BUY ONLINE
- RockSound say
- This is music planned with military precision - so mentally unhinged only maximum effort could have gone into the creation.
- Q say
- Their second album hurtles through 14 relentlessly intricate songs in 35 minutes, evoking classic art-pop from early Eno, The Fall and XTC through to current post-punksters The Futureheads and Young Knives, dispatched with the intensity of hardcore punk. Their humour and skill hits hardest on Eat Lead, a thrilling attempt to shoe-horn every great post-punk record into three minutes of gung-ho optimism.
- Artrocker say
- 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.
- The Fly say
- After three line-up changes The Metro is filled with the support band's lagered up mates, innovatively heckling "shut up!" at the stage. My Device soldier on regardless, playing songs about Sonic Youth albums and obscure actors. Their wild-eyed, jumpy grunge gems charm the lairy crowd into demanding an encore. My Device - 1, Red Stripe 0.
- Organ say
- Abrasive yet melodic and kind of sounding like a lot of the current angular indie crop - they do have a feverish quality though and now and again the ability to stop us in out tracks like they did just now with Everything Is Inflatable.
- Shifty Disco say
- BUY IT
