Paul Brown- lead vocals, keyboards, and rhythm guitar; Mike Major Drums, Percussion and vocals, Jim Cady - bass guitar and vocals; and Rex Bauer Lead Guitar and vocals.
Paul Brown is an accomplished singer, writer, and keyboardist. He also plays a very cool guitar for the band. He has traveled extensively and holds a masters in music and is a practicing lawyer. His sense of humor is at times very warped but his heart strives for a better world. Good guy for good music and causes.
Mike Major on drums gives the Killing Devils an amazing and versatile drummer who has lived all over the world such as in Greece and Germany and is well schooled in rock and other styles such as jazz. A driving and creative force on stage and in the studio. Mike is also a world class graphic artist with many of his designs seen throughout the media.
Jim Cady is the incredible bass player who has played with many top performers in St. Louis and is very creative in several different styles. He rocks the bass and carries the band to new levels. Dynamic on stage or in the studio.
Rex Bauer-is a dynamic lead guitarist who is rock guitar innovator and also a tremendous talent in all styles including jazz. He brings a wealth of knowledge and emotion to the entire band with his playing live and on the band's recordings. Rex also has worked as a producer in the business and has worked for such productions as All Things Considered on NPR. A world traveler and creative force is certainly Rex.

Sounds Like
Mostly us with a very Post-Modern sound. Influences are apparent in the sound like the Beatles, Van Halen, Police, Queensryche, Ramones, Foo Fighters, Rush, Steely Dan, Genesis, and many others, except with our own imprint on each original song that creates a very Post-Modern Sound. To us, age does not mean if its old or new, it is more an awareness of the music that has already been recorded in the past and trying to do something new.
The Killing Devils record with Turn Left International Inc., and are booked through several national agencies that also books several other famous bands and artists.
World-Class Rock coming to a venue near you and kicking ass with a smile.
New song posts of material from mostly previous albums.
An amazing band that the "LA Underground Music Exchange-2007" called "The Only Modern American Band to cover every genre well with Paul's unbelievable voice",
the St. Louis Riverfront Times-2006 said “RIGHTEOUS RIFFS: Don’t let the band name Paul Brown and the Killing Devils fool you. Join the GUITAR GODS at Rock Island as they celebrate the release of their epic, eighteen-track CD, Red Spider PB&TKD’s STRIPPED-DOWN GROOVE’LL GET YOU ON THE FLOOR” and
as stated by the NYC Village Voice-December 2007 "Paul's music has been played all over the world. He is a gifted singer, songwriter, and musician with one of the best progressive rock bands on the planet."
In July 2006 the Killing Devils released the critically acclaimed "Red Spider" CD and the band is presently working on their new CD entitled "The Wizard's Dawn."
