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.

Sadder Day
Deville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Awkward moment you say just try not to care but
You don't even know how
Time it moves so slow now thinking about those
Times and everything that you ever had it always
Got you so down but all i know is this one thing
This thing called life you wanted can't be found
And you just talk out loud for a while about
Anything just to hear your own voice guess you
Know it only hurts for a while then you get
Yourself back again
You wanna be found by the world, you'll try anything
I'm gonna sit back and watch as you fade away just
Don't blame me cause you're the one who did this
First with everything that you tried to do
The lyrics to Deville's song Sadder Day seem to be discussing the difficulties of trying to keep up a façade and be something that you're not. The first verse talks about an awkward moment that the singer is trying not to care about, but they don't even know how, which suggests a sense of unease or discomfort with their current situation. The second verse talks about thinking back on past times and feeling down, but the singer knows that this thing called life that they wanted can't be found when you're trying to be something that you're not. The chorus seems to be directed at someone else, who is trying to be found by the world and attempting anything to get there. The singer warns that they will fade away and it won't be their fault because they're the one who did this first with everything they tried to do.
Overall, the song seems to be about the importance of being true to oneself and not trying to force a certain image or persona onto oneself in order to fit in or be successful. The singer acknowledges the challenges and difficulties that come with trying to be authentic, but ultimately suggests that it's worth it in order to live a fulfilling life.

A Banda Não Veio
It was thirteen yeas ago, when I was passing by a music store and heard from the out side this song playing. I bought the album immediately. It was exactly the kind of music I was looking for, back at those days... their good energy, all fast and colorful footprint was perfect as the sound track for my 15-16 ages. Not to mention I'm from São Paulo, Brazil, so that everyone can understand what I am really trying to say

I remember when these guys played a punk show in Golden BC circa 2001 or so, they were by far the best act of the night, though Darryl's Grocery Bag were very decent too.
Timber Coleman

These guys played for my brother's high school grad. Who'd we get to play for my grad? No one. Yeah, that seems fair.
