Biography
The Amazing Devil is a dramatic, lyrical alt-folk band formed by vocalist and instrumentalist Joey Batey and vocalist Madeleine Hyland who met working as actors for the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2014. Following a long stint on Broadway, they returned to the UK and released their debut album Love Run in 2016 to considerable acclaim ('a masterpiece’ - FATEA, 'the best thing I have heard this year’ - For Folk's Sake). They followed it up with a series of For Folk’s Sake live sessions recorded in London’s historic Gerry’s club in 2017 with a full live band.
In 2018, they continued to showcase their love of live performance with two sessions - For Folk’s Sake Live at Beechmast.
In 2019, Madeleine and Joey recorded their second studio album - The Horror and the Wild - which was released in February the following year.
Though garnering considerable industry interest, The Amazing Devil remains independent.
