The Devil Makes Three have kept their busk-worthy and punky bluegrass alive for nearly a decade—impressive for a style of music that has built-in limitations. But these three kids from Santa Cruz aren't about breaking new ground. For the past nine years they've essentially provided the soundtrack to many a drunken party, where no one is left sitting down. It makes sense that the band just released its second live LP Stomp and Smash, as the Devils' studio albums are simply no match for what they do onstage: Fast music for fast people with neck tattoos and a proclivity for Dapper Dan.
