The Deviants (formerly The Social Deviants) were and English Rock group originally active in the 1960's, but until his death in 2013 used as a vehicle for the musical work of writer Mick Farren.
Farren once stated that the Deviants were a originally a "community band" where people "did things now and then It was like a total assault thing with a great deal of inter-relation and interdependence."
With the financial backing of Nigel Samuel, the 21 year old son of a millionaire, who Mick had befriended, the group independently released their first album "Ptooff", selling copies in the underground press until it was picked up by Decca records
" Musically, Farren described their sound as "teeth-grinding psychedelic rock" somewhere between The Stooges and The Mothers of Invention. The Deviants have been described as a transition between classic British psych, and the punk/heavy metal aesthetic of the '70's. According to Farren, The Deviants original aim was to make it "a loud basic rock band" playing "British amphetamine psychosis music."
Amen.
