BDYB is Pete Williamson (ex-Mammal and ex-Pete Murray's Stonemasons) with Zane Rosanoski (ex-Mammal) and Michael 'Big D' Davids (ex-Pete Murray's Stonemasons), who share an undeniable chemistry forged during years of touring, friendship, and making music together.

The bands’ debut album ‘Black Devil Rising’ was independently released on Friday the 2nd of September through Green Media and debuted at number 11 on the AIR album charts. ‘Black Devil Rising’ was produced, mixed and mastered by the great Lindsay Gravina (The Living End, Jet, Spiderbait etc) at Birdland studios in Melbourne, achieving the bands vision of an up-tempo wall of blues-influenced fuzzy rock.

"And the songs themselves? They are dead on the money, catchy, well crafted and just plain big." Buzz Mag (Album Review) "Black Devil Rising successfully combines many elements to produce a fierce, unfailing, explosive rock album." Inpress Magazine (Album Review) "Tuff as F**K. (★★★★½)" Zoo Magazine (Album Review)
"The sound is rich and well recorded and it’s surprising that even as only a three piece outfit they have a bigger sound than you’d expect...this is a superb first album." Music Scramble UK (Album Review) “The set comprised tunes that could be the love child of 90’s Seattle and Cream.” - Drum Media – (gig review)
"They were tight and impressive, with the obvious chemistry between Pete and Zane." - The Place – (gig review)

BDYB have supported Dead Letter Circus around Australia and were also special guests on the Shihad national tour. The band was featured as one of the top bands to watch in 2011 by Blunt magazine and earlier this year BDYB completed a national headline tour with The Delta Riggs.

The latest single from the BDYB album is called ‘Devil Be Gone’. Check out the rocking new video clip at: http://www.youtube.com/blackdevilyardboss
