About

Can you imagine an sXe hardcore kid doing vocals, a guy grown up on Metallica, glam rock and classic rock 'n roll playing the guitar, a stoner head abusing the drum kit, and one dude admiring prog rock and the Gothenburg sound rumbling on the bass at the same time? Actually it is not even necessary to use your imagination, you can just see and hear it all for yourself here. The former three do their thing having the time of their lives, while the fourth one is constantly grumbling in the background, as his influences have here no room at all. Oh well, life is not a piece of cake.
The band was formed around 2003 and had had its fair share of lineup changes. The lineup active between 2005 and 2007 first made a five song demo with a healthy dose of garage sound. A few months later the brigade recorded four songs - three previously recorded and one new. That material came into existence with the highly appreciated help of one of the defining faces of the whole Hungarian punk hardcore scene, maestro Tizi, in his very own Bandanas Studio and is now available on a limited edition cassette tape entitled Noise Rock.
Tizi then came up with the idea of gathering the forces of the Hungarian underground, creating a compilation, or rather a series of compilations featuring bands that were honest and were not there for following current trends, each playing two songs. Devon had the honor of being invited for Vol.1 of the series, being one of the ten participating bands. An old song and a new one were chosen for the CD, Shine My Way representing the band's more mid-tempo based early days, while Stand Or Fall showcasing the direction they took later, being a faster, more old school flavoured track.
A couple of years later the band was in the studio again - in a different studio with a different line-up. Original screamer Will was on board again and Hefi played the bass guitar that time, fitting in the band perfectly. His fast punk HC influence can be heard in a couple of songs on the six song demo the band recorded in Revolver Sound Studio with Zsolti, a former member of the legendary Dawncore and FallenIntoAshes.
Devon had played with bands like FallenIntoAshes, Böiler, Another Year (SWE), Flowers For Whores (CZ), Primitive Society (D), Zero Tolerance, Something Against You, Step On It, Bandanas, Sage, NewDeadProject and many more.
Devon is missed but you can catch certain members in other bands, and who knows, there may be yet-to-be-written pages in the book of this band.
