Description

Sound description: The Fray meets International Noise Conspiracy. If Belle and Sebastian got a less wimpy lead singer, dropped the orchestral strings and plugged in their guitars, they would be The Devotees.

Influences: Anyone and everyone they've ever listened to

Similar to: The Shins, Fountains of Wayne

Genres

Alt / Indie rock, Bluegrass / Roots, Folk / Singer-songwriter

History

The Devotees were formed by a couple of music students at the Dana School of Music at YSU. They began to write songs and added more and more members until they reached their current piece lineup in March. They are currently working on their first full length album, due out around Halloween.
