The Devildolls Rock n' Roll Street Gang
The Devildolls Rock N Roll Street Gang are an American and British punk rock band that evolved out of the ashes of Danny Frye & The Devildolls.
In September 2001 Danny Frye & The Devildolls released their debut album Hellbent to epic reviews. Danny Frye died due to health problems in July 2003 and the band decided to call it a day. In late 2006/early 2007 some former members of the band along with Billy Nowhere decided to go back into the studio to begin a new project and work on the album Anthems of The Lost and Forgotten.
The band is fronted by Billy Nowhere and has included former The Yo-Yo's / The Lurkers / Dogs D'Amour and current The Loyalties guitarist Tom Spencer, as well as bass player Drew Tomecko, drummer Joey Cypher, and fellow record producer Eddie Tomecko rounding out the bands lineup. In 2007 the band signed a deal with Not On Your Radio Records. Recently the band has made some lineup changes, drummer Joey Cypher has moved to guitar, new lead guitarist Shane Vain will take over for Eddie Tomecko, Ryan Carruth has taken on bass duties, and new drummer Ben-Just-Ben completes the lineup.
The bands sound reflects several elements of 1977 era UK punk rock, along with their own brand of low slung working class rock n' roll thrown in to create a very distinctive sound. It's also been noted by several in the press that the band shares many similarities to bands such as the Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, and Rancid. It has been recognized so much so that they've been highly supported by many of the original Clash inner circle members, including author and DJ Kris "Needsy" Needs, Rude Boy film actor Ray Gange, and Clash/Sex Pistols insider Mark Helfond.
The group is also highly involved with Strummerville or otherwise known as The Joe Strummer Foundation for New Music. In mid 2007 the band did a remake of The Clash song "I'm So Bored with the USA" to benefit the Foundation. The single was release in conjunction with the bands label Not On Your Radio which is located in Southsea, UK.
