Devastate Me, by She Makes War

Devastate Me

by She Makes War

supported by

Kohan Ikin Hooked from the first chord! That chorus is huge! Grunge-pop in the best quiet/loud tradition. Nirvana-esque chords exploding with the intensity of Blur's Song 2. This has been #1 on my On Repeat playlist for weeks now. Devastate Me should have been a huge hit worldwide.

Be Your Own Pete Found this when checking out Desperate Journalist support bands. Multi-talented multi-instrumentalist, equally happy penning a straight-up indie banger or the most delicate piece of chamber pop. In Breeders/Belly territory but with a unmistakably British accent. Superb.

zawtowers Having heard She Makes War perform this live late last year, it was already becoming a favourite track prior to this single release, and I'm pleased to say it's just as edgy recorded on this single as it is live. Nice feel all round, especially the downward spiral of guitars as it builds to its final chorus and flourish.

	Devastate Me This is a song for the heavy hearted Lost friends and the dear departed Kiss like a cannonball Handle your alcohol We disappear so quietly Devastate me We’re crying out, so eager to please Devastate me Sign up and enjoy the static Scream along cos we’re so dramatic Does the world need this piece of you? Easy to speak but it’s hard to be heard We’re not so wonderful Mortalis digital Watching ex-lovers age Blood on my internet page We disappear so quietly Devastate me We’re crying out, so eager to please Devastate me We disappear so quietly Devastate me We’re crying out, but nobody sees Devastate me We disappear so quietly Devastate me We’re crying out, so eager to please Devastate me We disappear so quietly Devastate me We’re crying out, but nobody sees Devastate me
