Run Devil Run is a project that was created in April of 1998, a side project featuring members of In Cold Blood, Spudmonsters, and Brothers Keeper. Founding members Don Foose (vocals), and Rich Ferjanic (drums) first came together to form the band by later adding Kevin Roberts (guitar), and Mike Lastowski (bass). Upon completion of the first album titled The Killing Civilization, (1999) the band embarked on their first European tour as an opening act in February of that year.
