Band information

The Devil Rides Out is a hard-edged stoner rock and metal band from Perth. The group was formed in early 2006 by former HeadShot and iNFeCTeD vocalist Joe Kapiteyn and Andrew Ewing from Thumb. Ben Franz from The Waifs and ex-Downer drummer Uyen joined shortly afterward and the band played its first show on June 6, 2006. Franz left the band in early 2008 to honour his commitment to The Waifs and was replaced by Brendan Ewing, also ex-Thumb.

Having supported Generator during 2008, TDRO won a WAMi Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Act in early 2009. Work has almost been completed on a debut full length for mid-2010 release; the band opened for Monster Magnet in Perth in September and supported Clutch in March 2010. A single "Broken White Line" was released in April ahead of the album The Heart and the Crown and a national tour in June.
