“Devolver uses melodies, intensity, and a variety of vocalists to hook you, reeling you from song to song making this such a welcoming and comfortable listen. I don’t mean they’re “easy listening,” there heavy as f***, I mean there’s always something different, you’ll never get bored while diving into this debut.” – Vulture Hound
“If After The Burial and The Ghost Inside had a lovechild, it would be Devolver. These guys blew me away with how professional, well written, and how well structured they’ve presented themselves with their Self-Titled record. Each song has its own personality, while still maintaining a signature sound. The breakdowns are simple, yet effective in each song. There is dynamic tension and then well-needed release throughout the record, and it’s downright masterful. This album is captivating, and I recommend anyone that is a fan of metal to check this out.” – Bucketlist Music Reviews

Hailing from Grand Prairie Alberta, DEVOLVER were formed by Devin Babcock and Bevin Booth in 2015. Inspired by Soilwork, Whitechapel, Gojira, At The Gates and In Flames, DEVOLVER describe their music as “melodic, groovy, fast, progressive, explosive!”.
As drummer Bevin Booth explains there is an irony in their name.
“The definition of Devolver is essentially moving backwards. However our music is what we strive to keep moving forward so the name is a bit sarcastic when viewed like that. The name was chosen by Devin after he was let go from a previous band and felt that set him back in terms of work he had dedicated. The name also plays off of Devin’s name as he originally founded Devolver while still in his previous band as a side project.”
Unleashing their self-titled debut album in 2015, the release was an eight track deliverance of “melodies, intensity, and a variety of vocalists to hook you, reeling you from song to song making this such a welcoming and comfortable listen...there’s always something different, you’ll never get bored while diving into this debut.” as described by Vulture Hound Mag. The album has been a stepping stone for DEVOLVER to grow and become a much talked about band on the Alberta metal scene along with performing with bands such as Protest The Hero, Protosequence, Windy City Slaughter and more.
DEVOLVER’s legions of fans have a growing hunger to feed their appetite and rather than devolving, the five piece are constantly evolving and will be unleashing a new single “A Life Lost’ in 2017.
“This new single will be a natural follow-up. It should also further the point that Devolver’s music will always move forward and progress from release-to-release!” adds Booth. “The experience we want to give fans of Devolver is one of anticipation, surprise and excitement with each release. Devolver is not one to release the same content over and over, and we want our fans to be aware of that with each release…Devolver’s sound will always move forward. Our debut album’s track listing varies within itself and there are no repeat offenders.”
Live, Devolver aim to slay! They are tight, energetic, and fun. They always strive to play the best show that they are physically capable of, whether it’s for ten or a hundred people, they live to involve the crowd as it makes the show super special for everyone involved. Plans for touring across Western Canada in 2017 and 2018 are in the works along with more music.
DEVOLVER’s self-titled debut album is available on Bandcamp, iTunes and Spotify.

Touring across Eastern Canada this past April presented by PureGrainAudio.com, Toronto hard rockers UFORIA rolled through nine cities and four provinces in promotion of their latest EP ‘Fight or Flight’. During the tour, the 4 piece captured clips from the road and concerts to put together their latest music video “Overthrow”.
“Our East Coast Canadian tour created some of the greatest moments of our lives. Now we get to share them with all of you through our new video! “Overthrow”. I also like to add that so many of our fans would love to meet us but are in places we’ve yet to perform. This Overthrow video is a very personal and intimate take on Uforia’s live show and personalities. We hope that it will fill the void until we get back on the road.” comments vocalist / guitarist Michael Ursini.

“This title track (Fight or Flight), in all of its gritty and tenacious swagger, smacks you in the face and demands to be listened to.” – Canadian Beats
“packing a powerful punch with no filler” – Some Kind of Media
“Uforia have released a tight collection of excellent songs and with the re-appearance of other Canadian guitar acts like Billy Talent and the aforementioned Finger Eleven into the mix we could be in for a renaissance in Canadian rock music.” – The Green Room Podcast
“I must say that this band definitely picked a great name for itself. We all know the definition of Euphoria; a feeling or state of intense excitement or happiness. This is exactly how the band portrayed themselves on stage. I was impressed by their stage presence….I see a bright future for this young talented group of musicians. They have great supporters and music mentors on their side. Please check them out when they come to a city near you.” – Concert Addicts
“It’s hard to fake understanding and desire. You get it or you don’t, you want it or you don’t. Uforia definitely has it.” – Steve Molella (Finger Eleven)
