Album Notes

THE DEVIL'S OWN: Piss Pissedoffherson (main mouth, white boy rhythm guitar), Lightnin' Rob (electrifying electric lead guitar), Pedro "Petey" Barbone (low end bass guitar and matching backing mouth) and Gentleman Smith (thumps, thwacks, crashes, bangs, booms and wallops). "Everything Is Broken Always" is the debut full-length CD from the San Francisco based Countrified Rock band, The Devil's Own. It was recorded in Portland, Oregon at It's Cold, It Stinks and I Don't Like the Way It Sounds Studio by Handsome Jon Burbank (of I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In the House) during the waning days of January, 2004. Mean motherfucking blues harp was provided by David Lipkind (also of Sonofabitch fame). He is owed a life-time of cigarettes to suck on for all the blowing he gave. It was released by the PASS-A-FIST! Recording Corporation in September, 2004. THE SONGS: Musically, the songs don't stray much off the paths that have already been beaten. But, like some bands, The Devil's Own adds their own character to the mix. You can call it Drunk Rock, Punked Up Country, Alternative Country, Honky-Skronk! or whatever your scope of reference, be it limited or expansive, is... It's really just 200 Proof Unapologetic Rock'n'Motherfuckin'Roll. Lyrically, the songs tend to lean on the same themes that many Country songs do... Women and drinkin' and smokin' and drinkin' and barroom brawlin' and drinkin', et al... But, it's the scenery between the bedroom and the bar and all the blood lost in-between that differs from the songs of other likeminded bands. The wordsmithing of Piss Pissedoffherson is almost completely unchartered territory in that it blends actual gone-downs with an unfiltered cunnilinguistic approach that in other cases may come off as too direct or too ambiguous. You may not know her real name but, chances are you've known her all your life if she isn't there anymore. Raise your Molotov Cocktail in a toast and praise the Satanarchistic deliverance of The Devil's Own."
