Check out the brand new video from punk legend Matt Freeman of Rancid & Operation Ivy fame for his rockin’ & rollin’ side project DEVIL’S BRIGADE.
By John Moore
It’s taken nearly a decade, but Matt Freeman – one of the best bassists in punk rock – has finally gotten his pschobilly project Devil’s Brigade out of the studio.
Between breaks with his day job (Rancid) and other projects (touring with Social Distortion, recording with The Transplants, etc.) Freeman continued to plug away at the three-piece, centered around his stand up bass. The project was first teased on a Hellcat Records comp “Give ‘Em The Boot III” in 2002, when the band debuted its first single “Vampire Girl.”
The project – at one time a musical ode to a San Francisco monument – was put on the back burner for awhile, but thanks to a break in his schedule Freeman finally decided to revisit the trio, which now includes longtime buddy and band mate Tim Armstrong (Operation Ivy, Rancid, The Transplants) and former X drummer DJ Bonebrake.
Freeman spoke recently about the long road Devil’s Brigade had to take before finally releasing a proper album, the legacy of Operation Ivy and working with your childhood friend.
