Deploying a moniker intended as a euphemism for rock n’ roll itself, Bible of the Devil embody it to the fullest, having toured extensively throughout the United States for the past five years, released two full-length albums: 2002’s FIREWATER AT MY COMMAND (Genuflect Records), and 2004’s TIGHT EMPIRE (Dead Teenager Records), in addition to a split 7” EP with fellow Chicagoans The Last Vegas (2004, Scarey Records). With a twin-guitar onslaught weaving melodic, harmonized leads in union with pummeling riff attacks, the propulsive rhythms and infectious vocal stylings of Bible of the Devil add up to a veritable rock n’ roll juggernaut.

Innocent of what lurked around the corner, in crept Lisa (bass player), confident and ready for a good catfight. Shortly thereafter, Rose (lead guitar) answering her call to the wild, completed the litter of kittens who now take the stage as "CATFIGHT."
