Bonus Episode 2: Kevin Devine – Bad Books, Miracle Of 86

By his own admission, you probably haven’t heard of Kevin Devine, but for almost 30 years now, he’s been a prolific musician who treats making music in much the same way the rest of us treat the need to breathe. That is to say, he deems it to be pretty bloody important. In fact, in addition to a solo career, Kevin’s been a member of bands like Infind, Delusion (who later renamed themselves Miracle Of 86), and Bad Books (which features members of Manchester Orchestra), plus he’s also got a pretty fruitful solo career, both under his own name and with his backing band, The Goddamn Band Needless to say, if you’ve not yet heard of Kevin Devine, well, now’s the time to get on board – you certainly won’t be left wanting when it comes to content. However, he is going to have to take a bit of time off making music when he heads to Australia this week for his first tour in ten years. Ahead of his trip down south, I was lucky enough to have a chat with Kevin for the podcast, where you’ll hear him chatting about his underdog status, his love of Elliott Smith, and more.
