"Handsome Devil - In your face rock and roll - loud, unapologetic, and blazing with energy - that's what we bring - that's who we are," boasts lead vocalist/guitarist Danny Walker. With diverse influences including the Clash, Elvis Costello, KISS, Bruce Springsteen, the Ramones, and Tom Petty, Handsome Devil focuses on writing great songs and putting on a kick ass live show.
Formed by singer-songwriter/guitarist Danny Walker and guitarist Billie Stevens with powerhouse drummer Keith Morgan in 1999, Handsome Devil began by making the rounds in the club scene in Orange County, California. In January 2001, after cutting some demos and touring regionally, Handsome Devil was signed to RCA records under the Dirty Martini imprint.
Their debut album, Love and Kisses from the Underground (Dirty Martini/RCA/BMG), which was released September 2001, garnered both critical acclaim and the overwhelming approval of fans worldwide. Of the CD, the Los Angeles Times declares, "Handsome Devil's debut album abounds with hook-filled songs bursting with punk energy, shredding heavy-metal guitar work and even a dash of rap-rock, all of which sounds like a goldmine for modern-rock radio." Dig Magazine adds, "Love and Kisses From The Underground represents the return of rock 'n roll proper: hook laden, fist-pumping anthems devoid of separatist sub genres and the need for image-critical accessories except, maybe, a Bic lighter." Supporting their debut with five US Tours, the Warped Tour 2002, an abundance of radio shows, and a live television performance of Makin' Money on the Craig Kilborn show, Handsome Devil developed into a lean, mean, touring machine exhibiting a ferocious live show, a strong work ethic, and a humble appreciation of their fans. Andy Guy, editor of Anti-Music, reviewed a Handsome Devil show at the Roxy in Hollywood, "From the first moment lead vocalist/guitarist Danny Walker walked on stage with his cohorts, it was sure pandemonium. Keith Morgan attacked the drums with a savage intensity yet he never missed a beat. Billie Stevens held dominance over his side of the stage as he rocked through the set
