“A ferocious guitar-driven power trio equally adept at sprawling psychedelic jams and terse, haunting rockers.” – Lucid Culture

Devi is a rock band from Jersey City, NJ led by a woman NYC blog Lucid Culture calls “one of the great guitar players of our time.” This is  “an utterly bad-ass power trio with a sense of humor, swagger, blistering guitar chops, looks, and the smarts to fuse niche with mass market,” says Midwest Record. Italy’s Audiovideofoto adds “something tells us we are witnessing the birth of a rock star.”

“Debra has a compelling voice that reminds us of Sheryl Crow and PJ Harvey but the music is very rock—with her guitar playing reminding us of the incomparable Jimi Hendrix.” – Metal Hammer

Devi (“Davey”) is Sanskrit for The Goddess—nature in all her forms, including sound. Devi’s debut album, Get Free, bursts out of the gate with the exhilarating powerpop gem “Another Day” and closes with a six-minute cover of “The Needle and the Damage Done” that ranges from dreamy to ferociously jamming. The album is distributed by Redeye USA and was featured on the iTunes Italy homepage for two weeks.

Bassist Keith Mannino and drummer John Hummel were in Black Market Radio with Chris Cornell’s brother Peter. Hummel was also in Phish lyricist Tom Marshall’s band Amfibian.
