Biography by Tim Sendra

Devin Davis started his musical career as a member of the Florida band Irving (not to be confused with the Irving from California on Eenie Meenie Records) and then Irving Philharmonic. Moving to Chicago in 1999, Davis finally began recording his debut album in 2001. He spent two years in the studio off and on, playing almost all the instruments himself as well as producing and mixing. The end result, Lonely People of the World, Unite!, saw the light of day in March of 2005 on tiny Chicago indie label Mousse Records. The album is a delightful mix of power pop energy, chamber pop smarts, and classic '60s pop song craft, calling to mind the best work of kindred spirits like Sloan, Jason Falkner, and the New Pornographers.

i saw this guy at schuba's in january and thought he had like two or three really good songs and a lot of mediocrity. and now over the last couple months, i've heard amazing things about him. so, i can't decide if he was having an off-night or if he really does just have two or three real jams that everyone's going ape over.

He's decent. When i first heard him, I thought he had a lot of potential, but then I was like, this is all he has to show for a half a decade's worth of output?

But who am I to talk, right?

i think his album is fucking amazing.

I saw him at Martyr's. Want to split a six pack and you can show me the merits of this album?

yes sir

good album. he opens for death cab for cutie @ summerfest this year (with paris, tx & maritime in between -- anyone know something about them?)

This is easily the worst record I've heard this year. I haven't heard about him anywhere other than AMG, I have no idea what they were thinking.

Worst. Lyrics. Ever. (with the exception of that Nickleback song posted in the most annoying bands thread) But Devin is a worse singer.
