2) An electronic/industrial project released one track with Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory) on Mischief Invasion Soundtrack.
3) A crunk/dirty south-styled rapper.
4) A Canadian punk band described here:
The story dates back to the high school years of Rich (vocals), and brothers Rob (drums) and Sean (guitar). The three friends spent all their spare time playing their favorite metal cover songs together in their parent’s basements. Inevitably though, that would only last for a short time. With the high point of the band being a stellar three-song performance at an annual school dance, the three musicians called it quits and spent the next few years pursuing other interests as music was put to the side. Then in 1998 Rich introduced Dave to Rob and Sean. Rich and Dave had already co-written some material together and it inspired both Rob and Sean, and rejuvenated everyone’s interest in playing music again. They all joined forces and engaged in the process of devising their own signature style and sound as a group. As time went on, the foursome had created a few of their own songs and started to progress very rapidly, but they still needed a bass player. Rich filled in for a while, but he constantly expressed his true desire to concentrate his energy on his lyrics and vocals.
In the summer of 1999, Deville was officially formed and they started to play shows around their hometown. After playing a few shows and recording a couple demos, the band started to earn some recognition around their local scene. They caught the eye of a local independent record label and soon after signed a one-record deal. In July of 2000 Deville headed west to Vancouver, Canada and recorded their first full-length album, “Pleasure to Burn”, with renowned producer / engineer, Blair Calibaba. As the CD was completed, they got themselves a van and were introduced to the world of touring. On the road is where they’ve spent the majority of their time since. They have done 6 major tours, including one supporting punk-rock legends, Good Riddance. Plans for heavy touring to support “A Step from Forever” are in the works as well. During the course of their tours Deville has earned the respect of many, including everyone at their American label, Jumpstart Records. (www.jumpstartrecords.com ). Jumpstart is now licensing “Pleasure to Burn” in the U.S.
February of 2003 marks the release of the bands sophomore effort entitled “A Step from Forever”. The album contains ten catchy yet technical tunes, which has proven to be the some of the bands best work. The album is recorded and released entirely independently with no label support at all.
Though fairly new to the music scene, Deville has proven they can hold their own with the more established bands. Also, aside from a great amount of support from their fans, friends, and families, Deville has done everything on their own and still managed to stay focused and keep their creative edge.

Deville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all i've got is time something that you can't
Find i never seen this coming my self destruction
Wasn't what i had wanted for myself myself...
So what's up today? i'm facing nothing new i'll
Throw it all away, how can i see this through it's
What i'm left with now, i've giving up somehow i'll
Try and tell me something that i've never heard
Before you tell me everything i know your fucking
Words are such a bore, and i don't wanna think about
This shit don't even try and ask cause i don't need
Your help, don't need your lies, i've left it in the
Past
I reach for the bottle one last time no worries or
Cares about my life one last thing that i can throw
Away (why can i never get it right) well i find
Myself lost again i'm gonna get it together but i
Don't know when help me find a way
By now you got it right as i just run and hide you
Never seen this through i'll make you fall through
Too you never seen this coming your self destruction
Wasn't what you had wanted for yourself yourself...
In Deville's song Perfect World, the lyrics describe a sense of loneliness and self-destruction. The singer is preoccupied with their thoughts, unable to focus on anything else but their current state. The line "all I've got is time" highlights the overwhelming feeling of aimlessness and lack of purpose. The singer is aware of their downward spiral but can't seem to find a way out, as evidenced by the line "it's what I'm left with now, I've given up somehow."
The second verse seems to express a sentiment of mistrust towards others. The singer is tired of hearing the same old advice and empty words, feeling as though they're not being understood. They reject the idea of seeking help, stating "I don't need your lies, I've left it in the past." The chorus brings back the theme of throwing it all away, signaling a desire for change or escape. The singer indulges in a bottle, trying to forget their problems, which only serves to exacerbate their situation.

Standing beside myself can't think about much else
I am so consumed by my own thoughts and feelings that it's hard for me to focus on anything else.
And all i've got is time something that you can't
Find i never seen this coming my self destruction
Wasn't what i had wanted for myself myself...
I have time on my hands, but it's not something you can acquire. I never anticipated that my own self-destructive behaviors would bring me to this point.
So what's up today? i'm facing nothing new i'll
Throw it all away, how can i see this through it's
What i'm left with now, i've giving up somehow i'll
Throw it all away, just take a look and see
Every day feels the same and I'm not sure how to keep going. I feel like giving up and throwing everything away, but I know I need to keep pushing through these difficult times.
Try and tell me something that i've never heard
Before you tell me everything i know your fucking
Words are such a bore, and i don't wanna think about
This shit don't even try and ask cause i don't need
Your help, don't need your lies, i've left it in the
Past
Don't bother telling me things I already know. I'm sick of hearing the same old platitudes and lies. I don't need your help because I'm ready to put the past behind me and move forward on my own.
I reach for the bottle one last time no worries or
Cares about my life one last thing that i can throw
Away (why can i never get it right) well i find
Myself lost again i'm gonna get it together but i
Don't know when help me find a way
I turn to alcohol to cope with my problems, but it's just another thing to throw away. I feel lost and don't know when I'll be able to get out of this rut. I need help finding my way again.
By now you got it right as i just run and hide you
Never seen this through i'll make you fall through
Too you never seen this coming your self destruction
Wasn't what you had wanted for yourself yourself...
You've probably figured out that I'm not always strong enough to face my problems head-on. But that doesn't mean I want to bring you down with me. I never intended to hurt myself or anyone else with my self-destructive behavior.
