Join Sherry for Just Push Play - A Music Podcast: Interview with John Allen of Charm City Devils.

Charm City Devils return to their bluesy, modern-edged and southern-tinged hard rock anthems. They can tell you about the desire to rock the masses, but you've heard all the puffery before.

Rather than bore you with the same old bio, they wanted to give it to you straight. They are Baltimore and Baltimore is in all of us! They have lived their entire lives in and around this city. Baltimore was once vibrant. The town had jobs, low crime, and was a place to truly call home. While it is tough to argue that Baltimore doesn’t have a myriad of issues, we still want to tell the story of what still thrives here, which is the music.

Real-life experiences are what they write about, what they sing about and what they care about.  

Baltimore to them is what Boston is to Aerosmith. It keeps them grounded, motivated, and inspired. It’s the main reason they chose this profession and why they will always pursue their dreams.

If nothing else, the return is a reminder that not all the news in Baltimore is bleak and in the face of adversity we have to “Roll on, Roll on, on like a Skipping Stone!”
