Devil To Pay

These guys got involved in the Battle by enlisting as a substitute for a band that dropped out of the running at the last minute. Not a bad confidence-builder to win their first live show ever. As with the Pub Sigs, Steve Janiak fronts Devil To Pay. In spite of that little bit of information, you won't get the two confused, guaranteed. Devil To Pay is a guitar-heavy stoner rock band of doom with the feel of Kyuss and Nebula. Janiak's voice morphs into a gritty rock growl backed by grinding guitars and pulsing explosions erupting from the drums. Devil To Pay features Janiak on guitar and vocals, Rob Secrist on guitar, Matt Stokes on bass and Chad Prifogle on drums.
