Charm City Devils – “Battles” [Album Review]
I had a chance to see Charm City Devils live a few years back, and I have been a fan ever since. If you are not yet familiar with the Maryland-based hard rockers then I suggest you take a moment to check them out; they play a brand of swagger-driven rock and roll that is raw, edgy, full of lasting melodies and an energetic, hard-driving vibe.

If you are not yet familiar with the Maryland-based hard rockers then I suggest you take a moment to check them out; they play a brand of swagger-driven rock and roll that is raw, edgy, full of lasting melodies and an energetic, hard-driving vibe.
Battles is the band’s third album and I believe they have herein hit full stride, packing all 11 tracks full of monstrous, catchy riffs and tons of attitude. John Allen’s voice has that raspy, just-smoked-a-pack-of-menthols quality that is perfect for this type of down and dirty, crunchy rock. Rock, which relies as heavily on driving rhythms and hard-hitting drumming, as it does the scorching riffs that are prevalent in nearly every song.
If you are a fan of quality hard rock in any way, shape or form, then I think Battles deserves your attention and a spot on your playlist.
