What would happen if Motörhead decided to cover Blur’s “Song 2”?
Dharma Guns — proudly calling themselves dandy punks — didn’t just wonder. They turned the idea into their newest single.
“Devil’s Beat” borrows attitude and flavour from both iconic groups, yet somehow lands with a sound that’s unmistakably Dharma Guns. The track fires off a muscular guitar riff, a huge shout-along chorus and lyrics celebrating the wicked charm of the evil powers of rock’n’roll.
After making their comeback in October with the single “King of Action Rock”, the band now offers a second taste of the forthcoming album arriving in the spring 2026.
The accompanying music video was filmed in an indoor swimming pool that doubles as the band’s rehearsal room. Drummer Olli Vartiainen used a 360° camera and body-mounted cams to capture the raw, sweaty energy of the group’s live and practice vibe.
“If ‘King of Action Rock’ felt like a punch below the belt, then ‘Devil’s Beat’ pushes you straight into a vengeful chase — right onto the Devil’s trail,” singer-guitarist Pete jokes.
Dharma Guns released their debut album Ex-Generation Superstars in November 2024. The record spawned four singles, each supported by its own music video.
Following the release of the new album, Dharma Guns will head out on tour with the British glam punk legend Steve Vincent.
