Devil Grass is a Phoenix, Arizona based act that plays an energetic blend of dark, loud, and high-lonesome tumbleweed rock’n’roll. 

​

The act came together toward the end of the summer of 2015, comprised of veteran players recently relocated from scattered east coast cities. Devil Grass released their debut single, “In The Cut,” in February of 2016, recorded with acclaimed valley producer Cory Spotts, with a music-video for the song dropping shortly thereafter. The single will be featured on the outfit’s forthcoming EP “Dog + Cross." As of writing, the record has been finished, awaiting a mid-winter release. 

​

Since late 2015, the band has been regularly gracing Phoenix-area stages with their high-energy and dynamic live performances, playing local spots such as Last Exit Live, Rebel Lounge, Yucca Tap Room, Rogue Bar, Rips, Chopper Johns, and others, on bills with acts ranging in vibe from subtle americana to punk and sludgy heavy metal. In November of 2016, the band was invited to play the 5th annual Sidepony Express Music Festival in Bisbee Arizona. Over the course of that weekend, Devil Grass played five shows in three days, in five entirely different formats, allowing the band to finally debut a quieter, twangier, more introspective version of their live-show (dubbed internally "the chill set"), something they'd been meaning to do since the act's inception. As "dynamic" has always been an important factor to what Devil Grass does, being now able to play as one of the loudest straight-up ROCK bands in town on one night, and then as sentimental, introspective, and quiet (-ish/-er) on the next, and knowing that the core songwriting behind the act's music holds its own in either format, has proven a major step in the band's evolution. 

​

Devil Grass’s music draws influences from a variety of sources, ranging from alt-country, dark folk, doom metal, indie-rock, and many others. The band was recently described by Mitchell Hillman of the Phoenix New Times as belonging “to the growing camp of ‘Southwest Desert Rock’… along with any other band that allows you to taste the Sonoran wind in their music.” In all, the band provides a memorable and original experience. Catch them live, and sing along!
