"The Devil Makes Three" is the eponymous LP by the American trio Devil Makes Three, a band renowned for their raw blend of folk, country, blues and punk attitude. On this vinyl edition, the group's stripped-down instrumentation - typically guitar, banjo and upright bass - creates an intimate, live-in-the-room atmosphere that highlights gritty storytelling, dark humor and a driving rhythmic pulse. The album combines the twang of old-time Americana with an almost punk-like urgency, resulting in songs that feel both timeless and fiercely modern. Fans of alternative folk and roots music will appreciate the unpolished charm, sing-along choruses and foot-stomping energy that run through the entire record, making it a perfect LP for late-night listening as well as for turning up loud at gatherings.

Over the years, they have become a fixture on festival stages and in the Americana/folk scene, valued for their ability to bridge traditional sounds with contemporary edge.

This self-titled LP captures an early and defining phase of the band's career, reflecting the core elements that have made them a cult favorite among roots and folk-punk listeners.
The LP format underlines the organic character of the music: warm analog sound, dynamic acoustic arrangements and a sequencing that invites listeners to experience the album as a journey from Side A to Side B.
