After a 20 year break, South Bay, California punk band Deviates is back with their third full-length album, Holding Out, to be released on Sept. 17.
The new record features a mix of holdovers from the band's aborted attempt at a new record in the early 2000s, plus newly penned tuned from the here and now.
“Twenty years later, you think you’ll never do it again, but I honestly never stopped writing and never stopped documenting music — and it always ended up going back to punk rock,” vocalist Brian Barbara says. “I was 16 when we started this and I'm 42 now, but there’s always been this common thread for Deviates, which is that we’ve always been representative of the crowd that we play in front of. Twenty years later the heart behind this hasn’t changed.”
The band will be playing live with Pennywise, Dead Kennedys, Strung Out, and more in the coming months.
