Early career
Bevan Davies began his musical career as the drummer for Still Rain in the early 1990s.[1] When the band split in 1995,[1] Davies formed the band Mouthpiece, appearing on an EP in 1996 before leaving the group.[1] He then joined Madfly[6] which also included singer William DuVall. The band released the albums Get the Silver and White Hot in the Black.[2] After some lineup changes, the band changed its name to Comes with the Fall in 1999[2] and released a self-titled album under that name the following year.[7]
In 2001, Comes with the Fall served as an opening act for a solo tour by Jerry Cantrell.[8] On dates when Cantrell's drummer Mike Bordin was unavailable, Davies filled in.[9] Davies appeared on Comes with the Fall's subsequent albums The Year is One in 2002 and Beyond the Last Light in 2007.[2]
Later career
In 2003, Davies left Comes with the Fall temporarily to join Danzig,[3] and appeared on the 2004 album Circle of Snakes.[10] He toured with the band throughout 2005 and again temporarily in 2010. During this period Davies was recruited to be the touring drummer for Engelbert Humperdinck[1] and formed the cover band Cardboard Vampyres with Cantrell and Billy Duffy.[11] Davies was also briefly a member of The Mercy Clinic.[12] In 2007 he toured temporarily with Static-X and joined Bloodsimple.[13]
In 2010, Davies formed the band MonstrO with former Bloodsimple bassist Kyle Sanders,[4] former Torche guitarist Juan Montoya,[4] and singer/guitarist Charlie Suarez.[4] The band's self-titled album, produced by DuVall,[14] was released in 2011 and they toured regularly until breaking up in 2013. Davies later appeared in the backing band for Wayne Static, and released a solo album in 2016 featuring numerous guest stars.[15]
