The Devil Wears Prada

The Devil Wears Prada takes its name from the novel (and movie) about the catty world of high fashion, but the Ohio band says its name is meant to be taken literally: "When standing before God, he won't care about your sweet Prada scarf or Gucci shoes or whatever."

Fronted by vocalist Mike Hranica and Jeremy DePoyster (guitar, vocals) along with Chris Rubey (guitar), Andy Tricj (bass), James Baney (keyboards) and Daniel Williams (drums), The Devil Wears Prada is straight-up about being on a religious mission. During this year's Warped Tour, the band opened their shows by announcing it was Christian before unleashing a set of crunching riffs, galloping drums and gut-wrenching screams. "You’re supposed to tell everyone and not be ashamed to anyone," confirms Hranica.

With songs like Dogs Can Grow Beards All Over, Hey John, What's Your Name Again? and HTML Rulez D00d, The Devil Wears Prada has collected a loyal following on MySpace. But that online-fame could have set up the band to fail in person, according to frontman Hranica: "I kind of get scared, but we've just gotten big because of MySpace, and that doesn't really give us a good representation."

The Devil Wears Prada will drop a deluxe edition of their most latest album, Plagues, at the end of October before embarking on a U.S. tour.
