New music: Devin -- Masochist

PREENED New York upstart Devin injects feverish excitement into rock 'n' roll with raucous new single Masochist.
The dapper showman is a fizzing ball of enthusiasm as he bursts through three minutes of punk-tinged energy, sort of like Wavves rocking-out with The Hives.
Last month, he supported The Drums at London's Roundhouse and crowds got up-close to the 50s-inspired rocker at an intimate gig at The Shacklewell Arms.
Yeah, he looks a bit like Edwin Collins, but Devin is more Jack and Coke than Orange Juice.
Masochist is out on April 23, followed by début album Romancing a week later, both via No Evil.

Song of the day: Wavves -- King of the Beach

IF Nathan Williams continues to mature as an artist and a dominating frontman, he will be more than just king of the beach.
And who’s going to stop him? Wavves’ rip-roaring title track from their new album of the same name is an irresistible two-and-a-half minute love affair.
Take a deep breath, savour the sea air and let the sun-bleached sounds travel around your consciousness. You’ll emerge positively glowing.
Keep your eyes peeled for our review of Wavves' new album King of the Beach.
