Since 1991, Roy and the Devil's Motorcycle have been getting lost in the music. Saturated in blues, garage and psychedelia, they've honed a focused, raw and hypnotic sound from blissed out blues to raging garage/ psychedelia. But it all sounds like them: immediate, at their own pace and with a slightly (verging on truly) disturbing warpedness. It's worth mentioning also that the three guitarist brothers grew up in a swiss mountain village.
Cuff the Duke is a Canadian band from Oshawa, Ontario, that has been active from 2001.

Roy was replaced in 1997 by Damon Atkinson. In 1999 Braid disbanded and went on to form Hey Mercedes with all band members minus Chris Broach (who went on to form The Firebird Band) and adding Mark Dawursk. The band reformed for a US tour in 2004 and, now that Hey Mercedes are defunct, apparently intend to tour sporadically.
