background / biography
"Like four ugly gunslinging bastards dressed like Johnny Cash playing Pogues type songs in a Proclaimers accent..." - Rodger Atkins, journalist.
The Deviltrain has arrived!!! If you are brave enough to step on board, be prepared for a new, original and addictive sound which will send an uncontrollable urge to tap that foot and possibly slap that thigh.
Fed up of the sad proliferation of bands playing covers, the founder members of Deviltrain wanted to do something a little different! Taking inspiration from a number of idols, icons and genres, the task was therefore set to write and deliver original material with a North East of Scotland twist. There was born the title of ‘Stomping Scottish Outlaw Music’. It is fitting with ancestral links to the early settlers of what is now known as the United States of America and the ‘Underground Railway’ (essentially setting the roots to blues and country music) Deviltrain throw together a mix of vibrant tunes described by many as a clash of Cash, Hank and the Proclaimers and other Celtic and Country bampots.
"Altogether a round sound with uncompromising beats, treats and timing that would fear the most proficient orchestra and give Simon Cowell an orgasm!." MDM
