We are very pleased to announce that we will finally get ourselves over to play the US, starting with a short tour of the West Coast between September 6 - 18 2010.

The tour details are still being fixed but we're looking at starting in LA & ending in Seattle. As soon as we have the full final schedule, I'll post it here.

It's been a long time coming, but I've finally found some time to build the new Deviated Instinct site. It's by no means complete, there's still reams of content we'd like to add, but I was so sick of looking at the previous temporary site, I just had to get this launched in it's basic form. I'll add more as I find the time.

The recent Back to Black festival in London was dead cool. We'd like to thank Bongo for putting on a superb line up & for looking after us so well. It was also great to catch up with Agrimonia & old friends again too. We're now busy planning trips for next year, more on that as we finalise our plans.

Thought I'd take the opportunity to shamelessly plug Ian Glasper's latest offering 'Trapped in a Scene'. It gives a pretty fair portrayal of all things black & crusty in the UK scene through the mid - late 80's.

'The underground hardcore scene of the mid to late 1980s was UK punk rock's last significant creative gasp. Emerging from the wreckage of the anarcho-punk scene spawned by the likes of Crass and Conflict, it took its influences from the studs 'n' leather punk bands of the early 1980s such as Discharge and GBH. These bands pushed musical boundaries into new avenues of extremity, helping to shape the alternative music scene of today. Trapped in a Scene is the long-awaited closing volume of Ian Glasper's celebrated trilogy on the UK punk scene of the 1980s.'

Oh, Deviated Instinct are featured too.

Go and read it for yourself.
