Devin Townsend is a Canadian singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer.

Devin Townsend’s career is one of many distinct eras. He’s been the leader of Strapping Young Lad, the lynchpin of the Devin Townsend Project and the co-architect of country duo Casualties of Cool, all while maintaining his prolific and lauded solo project. Now, the polymath’s newest era starts with Powernerd: a succinct but still progressive record that pulls from its mastermind’s childhood love of vintage rock.
