After a chance introduction through a mutual friend in the summer of 2005, writer/producers Olly and Jay got together in an East London studio and went about creating an individual sound nasty enough to irregulate heartbeats and perforate eardrums the world over. The result of their labours was Devil’s Gun.

The duo’s hard-hitting productions provided a twisted amalgamation of electro, breakbeat, house and sleazy synth-rock and lay the foundations for the band's inception. Next into the mix were writer/vocalists Jagga and Dominique, who’d both worked with Jay on previous projects. The creative chemistry between the quartet moved the project to the next level and the tracks soon began to pile up on the hard-drive. After introducing Olly’s old friend Adam Hyde on guitar and Manumission resident percussionist and general loon Don Bastardo into proceedings, the band was finally complete.

Not content with the confinements of the studio, Devil’s Gun soon took their show on the road, playing live as a 6-piece at gigs ranging from seedy, underground electro clubs in Shoreditch to the XFM stage at The Secret Garden Party, to see if their material stood up in the public domain. The answer to that question was clear and the band quickly began to secure a staunch live following and a reputation for infectious tunes and high energy performances.

As well as causing a stir with their live shows, an early demo began to circulate and their tracks were soon being supported by tastemaker DJs on XFM, Virgin Radio and Kiss 100. Recently likened to the mighty Basement Jaxx “…only with a broader musical palette” in the UK’s most prominent music publication, Music Week, the future looks promising for a band that appeals to the generation who's insatiable appetite for both live performance and dance music needs to be satisfied.
