Known for their raw, anarchic style, they combined garage rock, proto- punk, and psychedelic infuences. Originally formed as 'The Social Deviants' in 1967, the band was fronted by the poet, writer, and provocateur Mick Farren. The Deviants' sound was characterised by its experimental approach, blending bluesy riffs, rebellious lyrics, and chaotic energy. They were a signifcant precursor to punk and were part of the UK countercultural movement. 'Disposable' was originally released in 1968. A mix of satire, politics, and raw rock music. Although The Deviants didn't achieve mainstream success, they became a cult band with a lasting infuence on punk and alternative rock. Mick Farren went on to have a solo music career and became a respected writer and journalist. The Deviants were known as much for their countercultural ethos as their music, making them a key part of the late '60s underground scene.
