-from Oakland, CA -The Devil In California: Classic but
heavy-as-hell rock, you know you’re in for something big and heavy when
you first lay eyes on these guys, and that’s just what you get. They
bring their own brand of heavy rock, with low-slung guitars, attitude,
impeccable musicianship, and soaring 3 and 4 part harmonies that crush
with historic rock power and finesse.
Hailing from the broad, cracked streets of West Oakland California, The
Devil In California have set out to create new rock music, and bring it
to the world. They do that in-between thing. It’s heavy, but not metal.
It’s sing-alongy, but not sappy.
In the beginning, Jamie and his musical partner in crime, Matt Stewart
laid the groundwork for this heavy, low, southern-influenced rock
concept. The “audition”, and immediately subsequent induction of
seasoned rock vocalist Tony Malson made them a band, but they still
wanted more from this sound. In search of the perfect “big rock wall of
guitars”, TDIC hunted for a second gunslinger. While recording their
first demo, they found him in Snake Green (Skinlab, Re-ignition).
The band exploded into existence seemingly all at once! In a couple
short years they found themselves on stage at amazing Bay Area venues
such as Slims, DNA Lounge, Brick and Mortar, The New Parish, and The
Fillmore! They were sharing stages with nationals including Three Days
Grace, Black Star Riders, Skid Row, Crobot, Truckfighters, Charm City
Devils, Prong, The Supersuckers, Motor Sister, Tracii Guns, and John
Corabi (of Motley Crue fame). Their debut album release show at San
Francisco’s DNA Lounge was SOLD OUT!!!
The Devil In California’s “Longer Ride Down” came out in 2015 on
iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, Spotify, HearNOW, LASTFM, and most other
online outlets worldwide. The album debuted at #7 on CMJ’s Hard Rock
chart. They have already released two singles and videos – “Black Hand”
and “Empty Rooms”. Their third single and brand new video coming soon!
After some honing of the sound, some touring, and some amazing fill-ins
from some great drummers and great friends, TDIC finally really knew
what they really needed in a drummer, and in a band mate. They
announced their permanent drummer, Andy Galeon (Death Angel, Spiral
Arms) in 2016!
With the family complete, they’re heading for the recording studio, and
headed for the world!
Keep an ear out.

-from San Francisco, CA -BURN RIVER BURN. The name is the sound...
Churning, burning and rolling like a sludgy incendiary river.
Bending and twisting. Calm but raging. Soothing yet
fierce. Moving Rock.
It is next-level heavy rock music with crushing riffs, soaring vocals, steam engine grooves and dynamic, distinctive songs.
On the first day, there was Sabbath. On the second, Soundgarden. Now - there is BURN RIVER BURN.
