Devil Dog Road

Devil Dog Road is a rock band from Helsinki, Finland. Founded 2009 as a quartet and reborn as a trio 2016. The name comes from a road sign lead singer/guitarist Hynde saw while driving the Historic Route 66 near Williams, Arizona, USA. Band has released three albums “Devil Dog Road” (2014), “Next Exit” (2017) and “Drive And Out” (2018). Two latest albums were both recorded in Helsinki and mixed by Eric “Roscoe” Ambel in Brooklyn, New York, USA where they were also mastered by Mario Viele. Albums were produced and published by the band: Hynde, Tapo (drums) and Pieni (bass). Devil Dog Road released band’s fourth album “KEEP ROCK’N’ROLL ALIVE” on Friday January 29th 2021. Album was recorded at the Yellow Garage in Helsinki, Finland in June 2nd – August 8th 2020. Two bonus tracks were also recroded, one being “Rock and Roll” by Lou Reed. Mixing and mastering was done this time by a Swede, Ola Ersfjord. Madrid based Ersfjord has worked with bands like Imperial State Electric, Lucifer, Tribulation, Grande Royale, Night Viper, etc. as well as The “mighty” Hellacopters. There are 11 original tunes on the album. Previous album’s “stockholm-new yorkish” vibes were this time extended further and album sounds slightly more Scandinavian than the two previous Devil Dog Road albums. Songs are still though from all corners of the rock genre and sometimes shake the boundaries. Maybe the boundaries are this time a little closer to each other.
