Folk Devils
Ah, Folk Devils, the enigmatic post-punk band that emerged from the murky depths of 80s London. With a sound as haunting as a ghost story and as fierce as a rabid wolf, this group has captivated audiences with their raw energy and rebellious spirit. Fronted by the charismatic Nick Clift, Folk Devils are not your run-of-the-mill punk outfit - their music is a sonic assault on the senses, a cacophony of jagged guitars and pounding drums that will leave you both shaken and stirred.
Formed in 1983, Folk Devils quickly made a name for themselves on the underground circuit, playing legendary venues like the Marquee and the Hope and Anchor. Their debut EP, "The Crossing," released on Alan McGee's Creation Records, garnered critical acclaim and cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting bands in the burgeoning post-punk scene. But it wasn't just their music that set them apart - Clift's intense stage presence and penchant for wild theatrics made Folk Devils a must-see live act.
Fast forward to the present day and Folk Devils are still going strong, with a new lineup and a renewed sense of purpose. Their latest album, "Beautiful Monsters," is a blistering collection of songs that tackles everything from political corruption to personal demons. It's a testament to the band's enduring relevance and refusal to play by the rules.
So if you're craving music that's bold, brash, and unapologetically real, look no further than Folk Devils. They may be a relic of a bygone era, but their sound is as vital and urgent as ever. Keep your ears peeled and your senses primed - Folk Devils are here to shake up your world.
