Devils Creek - High octane no frills bluesicianship - a solid testament to the enduring power and influence of Blues Rock - especially the variety in which a wailing Fender Strat comes front and centre.

"Inspired by the classic guitar driven blues rock of the late 60's and 70's, UK power trio Devils Creek seem intent on keeping alive the time honored tradition first forged by greats such as Rory Gallagher, Alvin Lee and Ten Years After and Status Quo years ago.
Formed in 2006, led by guitarist/vocalist Guy Rosewall, featuring a crack rhythm section in bassist Tim Chapple and drummer Alan Ibbotson, their 2008 debut album 'Bullfrog Blues' combined a classic approach with an attack favored by heavy rock, particularly evident in the ultra heavy bass sound not normally heard in the genre.
Featuring a hard driving electric version of Rory Gallagher's "Seven Days" which would surely make the late great Irish guitarist proud, the entire offering is a solid testament to the enduring power and influence of blues inflected rock - especially the variety in which a wailing Fender Strat comes front and center.
Now in the middle of sessions for their second studio album, several tracks being already available for preview on the band's MySpace page it's quite clear based on the fresh evidence on display that these three aren't likely to stray from their vision any time in the foreseeable future" - (Nightwatcher's House of Rock November 2009)

If you are as big a fan as I am of electric blues guitar this is one not to miss. Guy Rosewall and the band are steeped in high octane no frills bluesicianship. I just downloaded this today and have listened through several times. Very refreshing to my ears. Reminiscent (without repeating) of Rory Gallagher's finest work from the late 70s Devil's Creek infuse their influences with enthusiasm and taste (pun intended) while remaining exciting and interesting. I am really enjoying this! Nice job guys" - (George T CD-Baby)

"Saw your great version of Red House on youtube. Brilliant!" - (Christopher Hjort, author "Strange Brew: Eric Clapton and the British Blues Boom 1965-1970" )

"Received the Devils Creek second CD today. I can't believe it , it is even better than the first CD, it arrived this morning, and I have played it twice through already! - I love the Hamsters, but Devils Creek stand head and shoulders above them...if you like 70's blues rock, buy this CD" - (Moonietunes)

"Devils Creeks second album following on from 'Bullfrog Blues' from 2007.I have that album which is a great introduction to what is,if there's any justice, a fine band on the brink of widespread recognition. 'Breaking The Chains' is a more polished and altogether tighter album than the first,and full of riffs anf hooks guaranteed to grab the attention of anyone who loves blues/rock. The album starts off with the track 'Rule The World' a heavy rock feel to it reminicent of Hendrix/ Black Sabbath.The second track 'Judgement Day' is a splendid Gary Moore like blues rocker and the third track 'Salvation' has a Parisienne Walkways feel to it.Track four 'Working The Chains' is a traditional blues track you can imagine Joe Bonamassa penning,whilst track five 'I Know' reminded me of an old Thin Lizzy rocker.'I'm A Man' track six has the Chicago hook I remember from the late 60's.Track seven 'Kokomo Train' is a boogie blues tune ZZ Top would be proud of.Track eight 'Hole In The Sun' is a Hendrix like heavy rocker whilst the final track 'Bullfrog Blues' is the encore track full of Chuck Berry blues/rock/boogie licks and hooks. Like I said if you like blues rock and guitar playing by Guy Rosewall reminicent of messers Gallagher/Moore/Bonamassa etc you'll love this.....I do. (Roadstar - Planet Rock Forum)

"Very remarkable work of Guy Rosewall, a guitarist with great force - besides being in possession of an enviable technique" -- (Motel Bourbon, Spain)

"Devil's Creek are a power blues trio from Cornwall, England who could best be compared with Rory Gallagher meets Joe Bonamassa. Solid blues with a take-no-prisoners attitude. If you like old seventies British blues rock then this cd is a must" - (Barnowl Blues, Holland).

Devils Creek - A British Blues Rock Power Trio.
High octane rocking blues - a solid testament to the enduring power and influence of Blues Rock - especially the variety in which a wailing Fender Stratocaster comes front and centre.

Inspired by the classic guitar-driven blues rock of the late 60's and 70's, Cornish power trio Devils Creek are keeping alive the time honoured traditions first forged by greats such as Rory Gallagher, Ten Years After and Johnny Winter.

Formed in 2006, and fronted by maverick guitarist/vocalist Guy Rosewall, the band features a crack rhythm section in bassist Tim Chapple and drummer Alan Ibbotson.

The 2008 debut album "Bullfrog Blues" combined a classic approach with an attack favoured by heavy rock, particularly evident in the ultra heavy bass sound not normally heard in the genre. Featuring a hard driving electric version of Rory Gallagher's "Seven Days" which would surely make the late great Irish guitarist proud, the entire offering is a solid testament to the enduring power and influence of blues inflected rock.

2010 saw the release of the bands second album "Working the Chains"
The album has received a great deal of airplay to date, including Rick Wakeman's Planet Rock show.
