"Love And Kisses From The Underground" was the debut in 2001, which features their most popular song to date, "Makin Money" which was also on the soundtrack of Smallville. "Knock Yourself Out" followed up in 2004, and in 2006 they released "Fully Automatic". Having a loyal supportive crowd in their home region is the only form of true succes that the band has seen. They have the talent, they have the catchy tunes, but they haven't quite had the breakthrough yet. A Handsome Devil CD can be stuck in your head for weeks though, and anyone that's into any form of rock music should enjoy their songs.

Devil In You
Handsome Devil Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll make you shiver,
I'll make you shake,
It comes as no surprise,
I'll take your body,
I'll take your soul right before your eyes,
I know and you know,

I Take no lip,

I'm shooting from the hip,
Got no respect,
What the hell did you expect?
I'll blow your mind,
I'm never satisfied,
I'll make you feel brand new 'cause I'm the Devil in you

I see the real you,
See I'm the real deal,
I'll make it easy to see,
You're getting so hot,
I'll take what you got,
See now I'm playing for keeps.
I know and you know,

I Take no lip,
I"m shooting from the hip,
Got no respect,
What the hell did you expect?
I'll blow your mind,
I'm never satisfied,

I'll make you feel brand new 'cause I'm the Devil in you
