Born 50 years to the date after Country Music legend, Hank Williams shuffled off this mortal coil, The Devil's Own has set up shop in the confines of this Country Rock circuit with the intent of fucking shit up. But not in the obvious nihilistic punk rock capacity that has become humdrum and cliche. Essentially, The Devil's Own is a campaign against the mediocre drivel that occupies both Nashville's "Country" and mainstream pop culture, intent on taking an active role in re-incorporating the teeth and meat that has long been missing. With roots embedded in a myriad of styles, including NWOBHM, punk, metal, jazz, early-to-mid-90s "emocore" and the gambit of Americana landscapes, The Devil's Own can't really be nailed down to one specific genre, which allows the band to roam freely without regard to restriction. In late 2004, the band released its debut, Everything Is Broken Always, on the self-financed PASS-A-FIST! Recording Corporation label and currently has a new full-length half in the can to be titled The Mood That Wouldn't Swing. The band has made some regional hits around California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest and has shared the stage with what songwriter/vocalist/guitarist, Piss Pissedoffherson, refers to as "bitchin' bands" such as I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch in the House, the Runaway Boys, Michael Dean Damron and Thee Loyal Bastards, Rocky Votolato, Drag the River, Two Cow Garage, Scott H. Biram, Richmond Fontaine, KeepSweet, Motel Fresno, Mojo Apostles, Slowfinger, Electric Boogie Dawgz, Porkchop Express, Red Cloud West, Hillstomp, Ghost Buffalo, Out On Bail, Mark Pickerel, Kleveland, Drunken Prayer, Lana Rebel, Rex Hobart, the Whipsaws and numerous others. The Devil's Own, putting the bitch back in obituary since 2003, motherfuckers!
