Deviates | Time Is The Distance

And yet another quality punk rock band.
CD, Epitaph

Tekst: Corjan van den Berg

Publicatiedatum: 08 september 2001

There's this band from Belgium and they make kick-ass metalcore. I've seen them play a couple of times and they are really great, even though I'm not really into that kind of music. Their singer has a brutal voice which gives me shivers down my spine. Their name is Deviate. The Deviates has absolutely nothing to do with that band. The Deviates make punkrock just like Strung out and Satanic Surfers. If I'm not wrong they already have a couple of albums out, but I think this is the first one on Epitaph. I'm not really into this kind of punkrock either, so this sound was quite new for me. The voice is clear and you can really hear what he's singing about. I can say that this Epitaph band has the same potential as a band like the Offspring. They sound the same and are not to fast and not to slow. I don't know if they will ever be as famous as those guys, but to me they have the same sound and they can play really good. As I hear the album more and more it kinda grows on me and I'm actually liking this. Especially the songs; 'Turn it down' and 'No mistake' are good. If a guy like me can like this music, a person, that's into that type of music, will probably love it. It has a lot of 'whooooaah's' just like bands like Shelter and 7 seconds have. If you like the old records of 7 seconds this could be something for you as well. I must congratulate these guys on the cool lay-out and nice artwork. The album has 14 songs and it all takes a little longer than 40 minutes to rock your ass. Nice lyrics as well. When I come to think of it, it sounds a little like a combination between Pennywise and Lagwagon. Sorry guys, that's the best comparison I have. When I first heard this album I thought that I would never listen to it again, but I actually like this! Perhaps I'm going soft or whatever, but I like this band and I bet there are a lot of people who like 'em just like me. Just give this one a try. You might be surprised like me!
