The Devils

The Profile

Two distinct projects share the name The Devils. The Naples duo of Erica Toraldo and Gianni Pregadio (active since 2015) deliver lo‑fi garage‑punk blues on Sin, You Sinners and Iron Butt, produced by Jim Diamond and released via Voodoo Rhythm, performing as Father Gianni and Sister Erica with a nod to Ken Russell’s film. Separately, Nick Rhodes and Stephen Duffy released the synth‑pop album Dark Circles in 2002.

From reviews: the Italian duo formed in 2015 in Naples; influences include Hound Dog Taylor, the Cramps, Oblivians, White Stripes; Jim Diamond (ex‑Dirtbombs, producer for the White Stripes) produced both Sin, You Sinners and Iron Butt on Voodoo Rhythm Records. Another review covers The Devils (Nick Rhodes & Stephen Duffy) and their 2002 album Dark Circles.

Reviews trace two different Devils: the Naples duo (Erica Toraldo, Gianni Pregadio) blasting lo‑fi garage‑punk blues on Sin, You Sinners and Iron Butt, produced by Jim Diamond. An interview covers their origins, influences, and iconoclastic stance. Another review spotlights Dark Circles (2002), the synth‑pop project by Nick Rhodes and Stephen Duffy. Expect noise, devotion to blues, and a flair for sacrilege.
