Fresh off two SAMMIES (Sacramento Music Awards) nominations for Best Folk/Bluegrass Band and Best Singer Songwriter, Northern California based neo-folk, vintage pop rockers According to Bazooka have delivered a roots rockin’ album that seamlessly blends elements of blues, zydeco, rockabilly, folk and retro pop melodies. The name of that album is The Devil’s In The Details.

Archtop guitar, accordion, upright bass, drums and vocal harmonies form the delightful, organic wall of sound that defines the A2B signature sound. Packed full of honesty, infectious energy, memorable melodies and relatable tales about being a human, The Devil’s in the Details stirs nostalgia while reminding us that consistently great song crafting guarantees a cohesive, seamless album which goes against the grain in a singles-driven, digital world. This record also shows that vintage pop and it’s mass appeal stand strong through the test of time.

Featuring Richard Urbino on guitar and vocals, René Martucci on accordion and vocals, Jamie Knapp on upright bass and vocals, and Don Johnston on drums and percussion, A2B entrusted the production work on this album to David Houston while recording at Moon Studio. The result is a vintage roots rock album that will feel familiar to some while sounding new and refreshing to others.

The Devil’s in the Details is the group’s third studio album. In 2017, they released Where We Are Now. That album was preceded by their 2015 debut Easy Come Easy Go.
