Deviations

Deviations came together in December of 2010. The band went through a few lineup changes before deciding to go back to a 4 piece band, throwing their guitarist on vocals. Deviations resides in Orlando, Florida and isn't planning on keeping it that way. Their self-produced EP's, "Rebirth" (2012) and "Revolt" (2012), have a very organized and clean mix of today's hard rock with old-school hardcore. With influences like Comeback Kid, Linkin Park and Underoath, the band had created a genre in it's self and had labeled it "Alternative/Hardcore." If you like hard rock, metal or hardcore music, you can find something that you like about these releases. From their arena-worthy choruses to their hardcore-punk verses and face-melting breakdowns, the genre bending band creates an atmosphere that anybody can feel welcomed to appreciate. That being said, Deviations goes on to press the limits of the genres before it once again with their release of "We're All Murderer's" (2013) with Jake Bigby (formerly guitarist) on vocals and a crushing new sound altogether. The band is excited to change things up with the 3 song EP "Stories from the Dead" coming mid-late 2013. So be ready for it. With Deviations, the message is clear. The band came together with the a common goal. That goal was to reach out to their negatively fueled peers and teens. Every member in Deviation's has been through and had to overcome life in one way or another, just as anyone else. They stand by the truth that we are the same. Through all of that, Deviations has found a common purpose and goal and that is to share how they get through it and to show that negative actions create negative results. The band is an expression of their beliefs and their attitudes towards life. Doug says. "Deviations is here to stand for something and share what brought us through times in life that at times seemed impossible. We know most of the younger adults and teens that listen to our style of music don't feel welcomed or think of going to church as an option because they have been shunned from their local churches or they don't feel comfortable with who they are at a church. We want to bring the welcoming feeling to them. We want to let our demographic know that we know you're angry, we know you feel alone, we know you don't trust anybody, we know you might be ashamed of what you believe and we know you don't fit in. We are those kids and that's what fuels our music. The passion for expressing our anger and the passion for expressing what's really right is truly what we want to bring to the table so we can create that welcoming feeling to our demographic that most Christians are lacking. Then we can start to rebuild truth and positivity within our society." Orlando - Raw - Alternative Rock and Roll
