The Deviants

THE DEVIANTS
 
 
The Deviants  (formerly The Social Deviants) were an English rock group originally active in the late 1960’s, but until his death in 2013, used as a vehicle for the musical work of writer Mick Farren.  Farren has stated that The Deviants were originally a community band which “did things every now and then — it was a total assault thing with a great deal of inter-relation and interdependence”.  Musically, Farren described their sound as “teeth-grinding, psychedelic rock” somewhere between The Stooges and The Mothers of Invention.  The Deviants have been described as a transition between classic British psych and the punk/heavy metal aesthetic of the 1970’s.   (More from Wikipedia)
