Max Boogie Overdrive shares a new single, “The Devil Knows My Name”. It gnaws at the roots of their Southern California influences. From its dynamic intro and heavy fuzz riffs, the band invites listeners on a road tour of their love of desert rock. There is no mistaking the influence of Fu Manchu or Kyuss racing through the Max Boogie Overdrive veins, laying down four on-the-floor drums and bass that pushes the need for tube-screaming, heavily distorted tones Listen to the track now!
The band commented:
“We hope you enjoy the sonic interpretation of our love for heavy music.”
The Devil Knows My Name was produced by Jim Bacchi and Daren Ford. Written by Daren Ford. The track was recorded by David Dominguez and Jim Bacchi. Mix and master done by Jim Bacchi, with cover art by Tikiyaki Designs.
Introduced by first single, “Suffer Sister,” Max Boogie Overdrive’s debut album ‘Stoned Again’ is expected for release later this year. That song offered a dirty Motörhead vibe, while others conjure the spirit of the current Sabbath-influenced desert rock scene. And then there is this KISS thing. Max Boogie Overdrive’s stoney, toasted So-Cal vibe makes them not your average desert/doom band yet can roll in that caravan, nonetheless.

Band Bio:
Like a beach bonfire bong hit, Max Boogie Overdrive’s super-fuzzed-out sound sets the scene. Custom vans, hotrod muscle, sunburnt beaches, legalized weed, and big haze riffs, all set about in a whirlwind of Keith Moon-esque drumming.
Max Boogie Overdrive was originally conceived in 2022, as a recording project between guitarist Max Boogie (Hittman, Fuzzbubble, The Tikiyaki Orchestra) and Drop Dee (Red Square Black, Ravine, The Generals) as a way to pursue their passion for all things Stoner and Boogie… mammoth guitar riffs, bellowing vocals, and the swagger of early ’70s Detroit rock n’ roll — dirty, fuzzy, with just a dusting of doom, and whole lotta boogie (not Disco… Heavy Boogie Rock).
The cyclonic drumming of Knuckles (Lords of Altamont, Superbeez) propels the band past the sludge and doom pace, and guitarist RC’s guitar adds the necessary beef to the mix, fattening up the tone, and added vocal duties.
