The Devil Makes Three with Death by Arrow and Hurray for the Riff Raff

With a slightly punky perspective on vintage American blues, The Devil Makes Three is a breath of fresh musical air on its eponymous Milan debut. Laced with elements of ragtime, country, folk and rockabilly, the critically praised, drummer-less trio - consisting of guitarist/frontman Pete Bernhard, stand-up bassist Lucia Turino and guitarist Cooper McBean - brings forth a genuine approach to acoustic music that is deeply steeped in rhythm.
"The rhythm is what our band is about," Bernard enthuses. "We write with rhythm and dancing in mind." Launched with the "The Plank," an ode to meeting one's maker, The DMT's infectious amalgam of styles talks the talk and it walks the walk right out of the starting gate.
From the outfit's badass, backporch blues ode "Ten Feet Tall" - which is alive with three-part harmonies - to "Shades," a wry look at barstool hugging daytime drunks, Pete, Lucia and Cooper create music that is pleasingly dissimilar to most other bands in modern music. Early critical praise of its self-produced recorded entry has earned comparisons to the likes of The Violent Femmes, Steve Earle and The White Stripes.
