Riding The High Horse CD (2005)
 $12.95 
While the Deviltones are undoubtedly tons of fun to see live, preferably in a dive bar with cheap beer, Riding the High Horse lacks personality. The Deviltones' debut album mines the same proto-punk garage sound as similar recent acts like the Datsuns or the Forty-Fives: noisy guitars, snotty vocals, sullen lyrics, and the idea that these guys probably know every song on the first 20 volumes of the Pebbles anthology by heart. "I gotta gun/I'm on the run" is close to the sum total of the lyrics of the 90-second "I Gotta Gun," set to a hurtling fuzztone riff that sounds like the MC5 jacked on espresso. ~ Stewart Mason
Recording information: Snake Oil Mansion, Richmond, VA (08/2004-12/2004).
Photographer: Martin Jackson.
The Deviltones: Randy Robinson (vocals); Don Cilurso (guitar); Brent Purgason (bass guitar); Rik Surly (drums).
Personnel: Nancy Lee (background vocals).
Additional personnel: Tabb Tharrington (guitar); Dano 69 (piano); Bo Heathen (bass guitar); Nancy Lee, Curtis Payne, Nathan P. It's admirable that the Deviltones stay so true to their three-chord ideals, but not only does Riding the High Horse not bring anything new to the retro-punk party -- innovation would be rather missing the point -- the Virginia-based band never does anything particularly interesting with its influences.

Everybody Loves Antiseen CDs (2006)
Deviltones discography
$13.69
Tackling covers head-on (and with some songs unnecessarily appearing more than once), certain bands rip it fast, some heap in country flavoring, some folk songs up, and some just try and re-create that which is Antiseen with varying results. With an assortment of 50-plus bands turning out for the long-running group's honorary soirée, it's admittedly a bit overkill. But just because you love a band doesn't mean you need to cover their songs. Because everyone needs to love North Carolina's Antiseen as much as the band itself loves pro wrestling, TKO Records has put together "a loving tribute to the boys from Brutalsville" on the appropriately titled, Everybody Loves Antiseen. The production is also not great, but regardless, there are definitely some highlights in the punk-country-hardcore-folk-thrash mixed bag of bands here. Despite best intentions, various bands just lack the certain charm which made the underground, Southern-fried, punk rock trash of Antiseen so fun in the first place.
