Who the Hell are Devil's Champion?
Brian Rourke
Instrument(s) - Bass
Bio - Brian came into the fold through an old time friend Matt B. The first time they jammed together he knew that these guys were something special but to be honest didn't know if he could hang with the fast fret work needed to keep up with the crushing riffs they brought to the table. He was up until this point mostly playing funk and some slower hardcore and metal. He sought out a pro bass player by the name of Stacy Bugg to bring his skills to the next level. A true jazz/funk wizard Bugg stressed speed though practice and opened Brian's mind to another level of playing. A live wire on stage and the backing vocals of the devil himself Brian brings a true energy to a live show that already tears your face off. His funk/metal style adds the true low end power to the thick power groove they lay down at every show they play.
