Joe Devlin
Drums & Vocals
Born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, Joe is the band’s backbone, driving the sound with his powerful and precise drumming. Joe’s style is a perfect blend of raw energy and technical skill, creating the pulse that keeps the band’s sound alive and electric. With deep roots in the local music scene, Joe’s drumming is as much about passion as it is precision, delivering beats that are both relentless and captivating.

Joe’s drumming is deeply inspired by his musical heroes’ diverse and groundbreaking styles. From Frank Zappa, he learned to embrace complex, off-kilter rhythms and an experimental approach to composition. King Crimson introduced him to the power of progressive rock, instilling an appreciation for intricate time signatures and dynamic shifts. Meanwhile, Mitch Mitchell’s (Jimi Hendrix) jazz-infused, improvisational style shaped Joe’s ability to infuse rock drumming with a fluid, expressive quality. Together, these influences drive Joe to push the boundaries of traditional rock, adding a unique edge to every beat he plays.
