DeVere

Bio

DeVere, “London’s loudest band” (MetalTalk), deliver hard rock elegance that’s unmistakably their own, and a buzz that’s impossible to ignore. The group’s theatrical, unmissable live show has established them as a standout act in London’s hard rock scene, selling out multiple headline shows and making their mark at major festivals including Download, Winter’s End, Margate Rocks, Planet Rockstock, and Germany’s Reeperbahn.

Following a breakout performance at Takedown Festival 2026, DeVere continue their ascent with upcoming appearances at Maid of Stone and London Metal Fest, building momentum towards the release of their debut album. The band recently toured the UK with Asomvel, further cementing their reputation as a formidable live act.

Produced by bassist Will Vaughan - a multi-platinum selling, BRIT-nominated songwriter/producer whose credits include Marshmello, Oliver Tree, and ATEEZ. Frontman Sam Cassidy commands the stage with powerful, soaring vocals, while Gibson-endorsed guitarist Mike Wroe delivers standout virtuosity, backed by Canadian-Bulgarian drummer George Love - one of London’s most in-demand session players prior to joining the band.

Their releases to date - ‘Surrender’, ‘Again’, ‘Like Lightning’, and ‘Dead Before I Die’ - showcase their raw talent, dynamism, and a fresh songwriting approach to the genre.

Stop everything! Stop everything and come check out this band!!! We have here a band that knows very well how to incorporate elements of Hard rock, AOR of Hard Heavy Metal and in the middle of that, put all the originality and creativity that the band knew and very well how to put in their songs!! It is necessary to point out that the band can create its sound in a modern guise, and perhaps this is a great differential that I need to say is very well produced! Like Lightning is that song that delivers all the energy of a good song to hit the road, to enjoy the day to its fullest and enjoy the guitar solos, and all the feeling that the band knew very well how to introduce! Highly recommended!

I really don't normally listen to hair metal because it makes me feel dirty and sticky - but when I got this song I couldn't *not* share it. It's one of those groovy songs that reminds me of a divorced dad pumping iron in his garage.

Only true fans of hard rock will know how to admire this band "DeVere" who today brings us an unreal video clip "Dead Before I Die" This theme portrays a complex emotional landscape in which the narrator fights with his own demons while seeking comfort in others. Exploring the internal struggles that drag him to experience isolation, because he feels fragile and a danger to himself, this is how his days end him while his own thoughts and emotions pursue him. Despite all this, the protagonist of this battle, wants to receive support for someone, with whom he has mixed feelings, and looks at it as a representation of negative emotions and causing his internal storm. The rhythms are enveloping and drag you to sing their verses impulsively, since the rhythm connects with your senses and becomes part of you, something that only this band can achieve. We think it is a very interesting proposal that demonstrates to the world the perpetual essence of metal and the enormous talent they possess.

A brief departure from their previous high-energy releases, 'Dead Before I Die' is an epic giant boasting a thunderous and emotional vocal masterclass, virtuous guitars and live cinematic string arrangement. Vocalist Sammy Cassidy says: "Dead Before I Die" is about that insidious voice in his head. The one you fear the most, the voice that wants you dead. It's quiet, most of the time. But he never disappears, he is always there, like a spider nestled in a crevice, waiting for the day when life diverts him, to the dark caves of his mind."
