PRESENTS:
THE FULL-THROTTLE SOUND OF CHARM CiTY DEViLS AND THEiR NEW RELEASE SiNS  APRIL 17,
2012 - When CHARM
CITY DEVILS (singer JOHN ALLEN, guitarist VICKARRERA, bassist ANTHONY
ARAMBULA, guitarist NICK KAY and drummer JASON HEISER) started to put
the new album together, they discussed covering a classic song and
incorporating it into their live show. As singer JOHN ALLEN, “There
were many ideas kicked around, but which one? ‘MAN OF CONSTANT SORROW’
came up and we decided to give it a try. It’s an
incredibly powerful song, but it was a challenge to develop and
arrange it in a way that captured the essence of the song but would
also ROCK! We all loved the version from ‘O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU?’
SKIDD MILLS and I built a foundation and with much tweaking
and editing, and I think we delivered a great version of the song. The
song transcends generations. It’s a timeless classic and it’s
been around a long time. I’m excited to bring it to a whole new
group of rock fans.” MAN OF
CONSTANT SORROW
has been exploding on the Active Rock radio
airwaves ever since it was released on January 23. The song has
quickly become a Top 10 Most Played smash on such stations as
SiriusXM’s “Octane” (where it’s #1 Most Played and is
currently #14 on their “Big Uns” countdown), KHTQ (Spokane, #2
Most Played), KILO (Colorado Springs, #3 Most Played), 98 Rock
(Baltimore, #6 Most Played), KQXR (Boise, #6 Most Played) and WZBH
(Ocean City, #11 Most Played). “Man Of Constant Sorrow” is
currently sitting at #32 on Billboard’s
“Active Rock” chart.
An official video was recently shot in the band’s hometown
(Baltimore) at singer JOHN ALLEN’s home studio and will be released
in the coming weeks.

comes to
interviewing and building a lasting rapport with the artists that come
ROCKWiRED's
way. As a youngster, BRIAN LUSH had no idea what kind of seed was being
planted
by reading magazines such as HIT PARADE, HIGH TIMES, SPIN, REQUEST
(remember
that one?) and even ROLLING STONE. "Those were the days before the
internet and being a rock journalist
looked
like the coolest job imaginable." says LUSH "But reading these
magazines had me
imagining that one day I'd be the artist giving all of the clever
answers to
some poor guy with a tape recorder. Well, life has a way of surprising
you.
Now, I'm the poor guy with the tape recorder and asking all of the
questions."CONTACT
