Hartford CT, USA blood brother power-duo, Balkun Brothers, bring you their latest hard hitting release “Devil On TV”. This self produced collection of 10 tracks showcases their appetite for heavy, blues soaked rock'n'roll riffs with doses of steamy funk grooves and back porch stomp boogie.

With a power mightier than a choir of fallen angles, the two brothers conjure up a sound that could shake even the devil's evil spirit to the core. Turn the dial and tune in, but beware of the Devil On TV!
