Charm City Devils Singer Explains 'Man of Constant Sorrow' Cover

March 29th 2012 9:00AM

Seven Music. Because of that relationship, the Charm City Devils were part of Crue Fest 2, which meant touring the country and playing for large crowds. Now, the band is hoping that past exposure will help with their newest venture, all the while trying to grow as musicians. Allen takes on one of the biggest growing pains, stretching his voice and experimenting with a deeper register not explored on the band's 2009 debut, Let's Rock n' Roll.

"Singing is new to me. I've been a drummer for most of my career (Allen played drums in '90s alternative rockers SR-71 and '80s hard rockers Child's Play), so the whole lead singer thing -- I'm a novice at it. I'm learning rather quickly. I'm trying to develop a better sense of melody and trying to improve as a musician overall. I can sing low and I can sing high. I have a fairly good range, so I wanted to showcase that a little more on this record. It's all a learning and developing process for me."

The Charm City Devils will embark on a U.S. club tour beginning April 21. "Man of Constant Sorrow" is available for purchase now on iTunes.
