THE DEVIL'S FORFEIT
'SESSION'
SINGLE OUT 12/12/25
The Devil's Forfeit are a rock 'n' roll band with dirt under their fingernails and fire in their gut. Hailing from Edinburgh, this four-piece blends the grit of blues with the stomp of classic rock, delivering riff-heavy songs that feel both road-worn and razor-sharp.
Formed in late 2023, the band have quickly built a reputation for tight, high-voltage live sets that channel the raw swagger of vintage Stones, the southern bite of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the melodic crunch of early Zeppelin and The Stones. Their sound is steeped in blues tradition but never stuck in the past- lean, loud and unafraid to swing hard.
Their original material has been called "toe-tapping and delightful" (BluesBlaster UK), while their lead vocals and guitar work are praised as "sensationally strong and unmistakably authentic." Early gigs include support slots for German blues-rock outfit Blue Deal and UK slide-guitar powerhouse Troy Redfern, setting the stage for a breakout year. With each show, The Devil's Forfeit prove they're not here to chase trends-they're here to play music that moves, grooves and leaves a mark.

"Session is loosely based on a real individual, within the music industry, who asks for favours in return for promises. The individual, who shall not be named, has a penchant for S&M, always wanting to be punished and told what to do. Whilst writing the lyrics, this evolved into the character of the song being a dominatrix with a dark side. This lady likes to pick up her “victims” and tie them up and torture them, all for pleasure of course, and all the while believing that they are a willing participant. Although, this may not actually be the case, as she mentions “others” being too quiet. This song may be on the dark side but it is also meant to be fun, sexy and teasing."
