Background
The Amazing Devil is a lyrical folk band formed in 2016 and comprised of members Joey Batey and Madeleine Hyland.
Band Lore
At the bands founding, each member of the band had a stage persona they played. Batey as The Blue Furious Boy and Hyland as Scarlett Scarlett. The members no longer consider themselves playing the characters onstage as they did at the beginning of the band's career.[1] A description for The Blue Furious boy posted to the Amazing Devil page on Instagram[2]
THE BLUE FURIOUS BOY the open nerve, unswerving but ever-turning, burning blue as forgetmenots, as the whole life cycle of a fierce and fighting star, by the black hole of the end he'll pull you into a new universe where the rules are his and the game is chiselled and sizzling, you'll smash it all up and begin all again, as he always wanted, but now you're better and stronger and he still can't sleep for all the dreams and streams they all piled him with, but he eyes up the map of the beat and the magic words to keep herding this way and that, and the angry cats still at the strings of his lyre, lyre, and his crooked crown of shells and bottle tops whistles and whispers and roars in his ears as the storm and the story come rocking and rolling and rollicking in
A description for Scarlet Scarlet boy posted to the Amazing Devil page on Instagram[3]
SCARLET SCARLET or Captain Scarlet Scarlet if you will, the red lettered unfettered red herringbone unlone wolf ruffling up trouble and stirring up the chant of the unheard, unblurring the retouched, touchstone of the raw crimson and bleeding truth, swinging between the gutter and the stars, calling out in wonder, unhumbling her gums and stomping through the ball in fuckoff boots, queen on fire, liar liar
Popularity
One of the band members, Batey, plays Jaskier on the Netflix adaptation of The Witcher and his popularity and the popularity of the show has helped boost the band into higher levels of popularity.
In 2020 the Tumblr Fandommetic's Year in Review placed the band as the twentieth most popular fandom within the category of musical groups.

Fanworks
While the band members and stage personas do not prompt a lot of fanfiction on their own (The Amazing Devil (band) fandom on Archive of Our Own) has 31 fics published as of February 2025, it is incredibly common to find works in all different fandoms using Amazing Devil lyrics as song titles and inspiration.
