Album Review

Following two 12-inch singles from 2003 and 2005, after a long wait, Rancid spinoff Devil’s Brigade released their debut self-titled album in 2010. In true psychobilly fashion, lead singer Matt Freeman sings in a gruff Gene Simmons-esque growl as he slaps his upright bass in time to the rhythmic skiffle of percussionist D.J. Bonebrake. “Ride Harley Ride” takes a surf-rock cue from Dick Dale with Tim Armstrong providing some tasty tremolo guitar bends, while “Bridge of Gold” takes a punky approach to Appalachian bluegrass. For this classic-sounding number, Freeman sings of his journeys out west in hopes of getting a job building the Golden Gate Bridge, as Lars Fredriksen and Tim Armstrong take drunken turns caterwauling the verses. It’s a far cry from the straightforward modern-day punk of Rancid, but open-minded fans of the band may find the tumbleweed twist from the norm enticing.

Customer Reviews

finally a Matt Freeman record!!

for matt freeman fans out there. the bass is disgusting.

Finally

I've been waiting for Matt to come out with this album since I heard "Vampire Girl", on Give Em The Boot III in like 2002. It was worth the wait.

Better than I expected

I wasn't too sure that I would like this cd. I'm a huge Rancid fan and really enjoy Matt's singing on their CD's but I thought his gravely voice would get annoying over the length of a full cd. I was wrong, his trade mark growl is definately there on some songs but on others he switches it up and sings with a, slightly, more mellow vocal. That, and the inclusion of Lars and Tim on a few tracks turns what could have been a cd full of songs that all sound the same into something that I expect to be listening to for years to come. As for the music... It's top notch! Matt Freeman is by far one of the best bass players in music and he does not disappoint. Tim Armstrong's guitar playing fits in perfect and DJ bonebreak is at the top of his game. I would recommend this disk to fans of street punk and pschobilly or to anyone who wants to hear something different.
