The UK ‘mutant-psycho-punk-blues’ band Folk Devils have re-formed and just announced that a new EP drops on September 18th – the first new music from the boys in 33 years! Old live favourite Ink Runs Dry is sandwiched by new compositions Forever and My Slum Soul.
Originally managed by Ray Gange, star of The Clash’s film Rude Boy, the Folk Devils first single Hank Turns Blue was recorded for £180 (allegedly the bands combined dole money) and released on the label Ganges Records and distributed through Rough Trade. It reached number three in the indie charts in 1984 and sat there for six weeks being kept off the top spot only by New Order and Depeche Mode.
The band notched up an impressive three John Peel sessions and also opened for The Fall, The Gun Club, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Screaming Blue Messiahs...."
