Device

There ar two bands using this name: 1) Device was the brainchild of 80's songwriter wunderkind Holly Knight. Knight was a prolific songwriter in the 80's, penning hits for Pat Benatar ("Love Is A Battlefield", "Invincible"), Animotion ("Obsession", "I Engineer"), Tina Turner ("Better Be Good To Me", "The Best"), Aerosmith ("Rag Doll") and Scandal ("The Warrior".) Ironically enough, Paul Engemann- the lead singer for Device, went on to be one of the lead vocalists for Animotion. (He sang co-lead with Cynthia Rhodes on their "Room To Move" hit.) Device's one and only album, the cryptically titled "22B3" would be the group's only release but featured a bonafide eighties greatie in "Hanging On A Heart Attack." It was a Top 40 hit in the U.S. and was in heavy rotation on MTV. The follow-up single "Who Says" didn't garner the same attention, but its video still gets some airplay on Vh-1 Classic. 2) Device is latvian band formed in year 1998 in Liepāja. Band members: Marats Ogļezņevs (Marathons) and Ruslans Kuksinovičs (Rus-L). Device first single is called " Find A Point". They are playing Hip-Hop and R'n'B.
