The Deviates played Sept. 13 at a punk club in Oklahoma City called the Green Door, on their way to tour the Midwest. The Deviates were born in 1994 in a garage in South Bay, Calif., where at the ages of 15 and 16 they taught themselves how to play instruments. Now seven years later they stand proud with some of the best hard core punk bands of our generation. The Deviates offer a fresh, new voice in punk music. They are passionate about their music and sing about everyday conflicts life has to offer.
Fans relate to their angry yet emotionally driven music.
Since 1994 the Deviates have released two albums. The band has definitely matured musically and lyrically since first picking up their instruments. Our dream is to play music. Traveling from city to city playing shows is a lot of hard work, but it all pays off when they see fans enjoying the show. They are willing to play anywhere as long as one fan is happy to see them.
