Better Days (Peaks & Valleys, 2007)

The Devastators' second album builds on the momentum of Frontline with perhaps a pinch more of

The Devastators have completed their second full length studio album entitled "Better Days."  The new album features 15 tracks (over 70min!) of original material by the SD reggae four-piece.  Fans of the bands debut album "Frontline" should appreciate the continuity with the new record.  Like "Frontline" the album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Peaks and Valleys Studio by Alex Somerville.  The services of percussionist Christian Mills were commissioned once again, as was graphic artwork by Rion of lefthandrightmind Creations.  A host of other guest musicians make an appearance on the album including James McWhinney (of Big Mountain), Elijah Emanuel, Professor Most, Keena King, Bianca Diaz and the horn section of Andy Geib, Bob Campbell, and Jason Robinson.  Pre-order your copy today.  All pre-orders will ship the day we receive the albums, sometime on or before the Feb 8th CD Release Party.  Preview samples of all tracks by clickin the song titles below. On myspace?  Listen to a few full length tracks from the new album and add one to your profile at http://myspace.com/thedevastators
