DEVIL CITY ANGELS definitely has no shortage of professionals in its ranks—namely Tracii Guns of L.A. GUNS on guitar, drummer, Rikki Rocket of POISON, Eric Brittingham of CINDERELLA on bass, and singer Brandon Gibbs of THE GIBBS BROTHERS and CHEAP THRILL.
Bassist Rudy Sarzo of QUIET RIOT, WHITESNAKE and OZZY OSBOURNE replaced Eric Brittingham after the recording of the band's debut album and the band released their debut music video for their new single and today's tune "Boneyard".
The four musicians holed up in Southern California’s Patagonia Studios within a month of that impromptu first gig. The five-acre ranch allowed for a level of comfortable isolation, encouraging complete focus. As a result, they quickly conjured up a sound of their own.
The self titled debut album was officially released September 11, 2015. Their debut album was produced by the band in Los Angeles and mixed in Nashville by Anthony Focx.
