"Soulful and blues-colored rock ’n' roll that would fit quite nicely as a soundtrack to a biker movie with hairy reprobates swigging bourbon and riding choppers in between sessions of vandalism. Imagine a band that is the sum of ZZ Top, AC/DC, Led Zep, Miller High Life, sunshine, sideburns, and convertibles and you will come pretty close to physically defining The Devil Rides Out."- STONERROCK.COM
Take the sexy big groove heaviness of stoner rock, throw in the dirty lowbrow swagger of garage blues and add the hi-octane velocity of old school thrash for a bit of spice and you have Western Australia’s THE DEVIL RIDES OUT.
Since debuting on 6/6/06 the band have quickly established themselves as “Perth’s premier exponents of balls’n’all, rock’n’roll grit and grime” (Drum Media) with their unholy trinity of EPs Volume I, Volume II and Volume III, culminating in them winning the 2009 WAMi Award for 'Best Hard Rock Artist'.
On the back of the release of Volume III the band have supported Nick (QOTSA/Kyuss) Oliveri's MONDO GENERATOR (US) on their down under tour in August '08 and joined WINNEBAGO DEAL (UK) in the Devil's Kitchen in January '09. In September '09 they accompany MONSTER MAGNET (US) on their WA show, followed by more tours to be announced soon for October.
The Devils are currently writing their debut long player, planned for release in early 2010.

"Very much like a cross between Queens Of The Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal... they generate heavy stoner rock with liberal lashings of garage blues, delivered with a ferocious grit."- INPRESS MAGAZINE
"The Devil Rides Out sure knows how to rock... they dole out enormously catchy doses of rollicking groove-laden sludge that wouldn't be out of place on an album by Corrosion of Conformity" - PYROMUSIC.NET
"Their dirtiest and heaviest material so far... a mix of gritty blues rock and stoner rock... sexy, angry, rough, violent and aggressive, with a fat production... Only the Devil is bigger!" - DAREDEVIL
"This is rock n' roll! The Devil Rides Out is an Australian band who play classic rock of the 70's passed through a filter of modern rock and the metal. Their disc Volume III is plagued with good songs... we urge you to listen and ride with them! ."- SLOWBURN
"The Devil Rides Out are really in a genre of their own here in Australia, and all the better for them... it would take some strong competition to challenge these rockers, and now we only have to wait in anticipation for the boys prepare to release a full length album."- THE METAL FORGE
"The opening salvo of Slow Gun carries a hook bigger than a high-rise demolition team... If you're only as good as your last game, Volume III shows The Devil Rides Out could make it into the big league."- i94 BARMAN
"This is quality rawk and roll, and shows promise of bigger things to come."- DEADBEAT
"Influences range from country to thrash and almost everything in between... lots of bands fling around disparate influences like this, but very few manage to tie them together as convincingly as The Devil Rides Out do.""- STONERDOOM.NZ
"The six tracks here do more than just take hold of you on initial impact, this time they beg you for repeat listens. The production too sounds smarter, making The Devil sound much more big league, but no less authentic." - DRUM MEDIA
"Finally putting their trilogy of EPs to rest, The Devil Rides Out have seen the project out with a bang... Volume IIIsees the boys more able to call their influences ‘peers’ than ever before." - XPRESS
'VOLUME II':
"So good! I love this truck drivin' Mans Ruin-esque stoner rock jive. Kozik would love these cats. File next to Kyuss, Rollerball, and Alabama Thunderpussy. Good shit!" - LONG GONE LOSER
"The Devil Rides Out have outdone themselves with Volume II. Put to it in the simplest way possible… this EP rocks HARD from the first note to the last." - PERTHBANDS.COM
"Brilliant and imaginative, and an eye opener to the current rock world... Rock was at its prime back in the 1970s, and this just goes to show that there is still more groove to be milked from the grandfather years." - THE METAL FORGE
"Back with a second EP just four months after their debut release, Perth's premier exponents of balls'n'all, rock'n'roll grit and grime mean business."- DRUM MEDIA SINGLE OF THE WEEK
'VOLUME I':
"Cock struttin' high flyin' and gear changin' with lotsa riffs... dishes up 6 tracks detailing long nights of lovin' and truck-stops... Sounding Southern but coming from Western (Australia that is), I'd be highly disappointed if none of these guys drive a truck." - LONG GONE LOSER
"A deliciously accurate introduction to a band that have made a lot of waves in a short timeframe. Part stoner rock riff-o-rama, part metal virtuosity, part country music folk lore; Volume I is as musically on-the-money as it is lyrically ... The best 'riff' band in Perth hands-down, The Devil Rides Out are a meaty meal." XPRESS
"The first of three EPs released by this local group of heavy hitters certainly hits the mark. Joey K's awesome howl fits perfectly with Andrew Ewing's fuzzed-out riffs." - DRUM MEDIA SINGLE OF THE WEEK
