Founded by former SR-71 drummer John Allen, Charm City Devils became the first band signed by Eleven Seven Music president Nikki Sixx, of Mötley Crüe fame. The band will release its first album, Let’s Rock and Roll, for the label later this spring. The album garnered immediate respect prior to its release with the title track enjoying rotation at 98 Rock (WIYY FM 97.9). Charm City Devils was voted top Maryland rock band in 2008 by SEN magazine.
"We are so excited to be part of such an extraordinary event,” Allen said. “To share the stage with rock legends ZZ Top and the incredible Buckcherry is an honor for us. We hope to make our city of Baltimore and the Maryland Jockey Club proud for having us open 2009's InfieldFEST!”
