Biography

Devil Doll rocks and rolls with endless energy. Evidence: Lover & A Fighter. The genre-bending California outfit's new collection backs vibrant vignettes with carefully etched narratives. “I thought 'lover and a fighter' was such a great phrase to embody this song and the record,” lead singer and songwriter Colleen Duffy says. “It shows women being strong, sticking together and not taking any shit, but also rewarding men for being decent. If the title track was a film it would probably be Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. I thought trying to write my own version of a female anthem like Joan Jett's 'Cherry Bomb' would be really fun and empowering.” After a 6 year hiatus caused by a debilitating illness, Duffy's adoring fans crowdfunded Devil Doll's phoenix-like rise from the ashes in the form of her sultry-yet-aggressive new album, Lover & a Fighter. Recorded at the world famous Sunset Sound in Hollywood, and featuring contributions from The Who's Jon Button on bass, Lover & a Fighter is a masterpiece that allows Duffy to re-stake her claim as queen in a male-dominated world of grease-rock, outlaw country and junkyard soul with her siren voice and gangster guts. Few match her switchblade anthems and ballads of redemption. Fewer still deliver seductive yet fearless crooning that can both melt and break your heart in the same verse. Listen closely; You'll find God one minute and throw back a whiskey the next. You might even throw your clothes to the floor.
