"Who Says" by Device

Today, most people think of a heavy metal band when they hear the name "Device", but the original name belongs to an 80s synth-pop band. They had a single record released in 1986 that went to #73 called "22B3".

Device met with some modest chart success, first with "Hanging On A Heart Attack" (#35) and then "Who Says" (#79). The lead singer, Paul Engemann, then left the band to sing for another classic 80s dance band, Animotion. Keyboardist and bassist Holly Knight is a prolific songwriter and also used to be in the band called Spider.
