Devils Brigade is the eponymous debut album by the rock band Devils Brigade, a side project by Matt Freeman of Rancid. The band, which performs a mix of punk rock and psychobilly, features Freeman on lead vocals and double bass in contrast to the backing vocals and electric bass guitar he typically performs in Rancid. Originally envisioned as a concept album about the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, Devils Brigade was co-written by Freeman and his longtime bandmate Tim Armstrong, who also played guitar on the album and served as record producer alongside Ryan Foltz. The album also features X drummer DJ Bonebrake and contributions from Rancid's Lars Frederiksen, and was released August 31, 2010 through Armstrong's label Hellcat Records.

Freeman started Devils Brigade in 2000 when he and Armstrong began writing songs together during breaks between Rancid tours. Backed by Armstrong on guitar and Rancid drummer Brett Reed, he debuted the project in 2002 with the song "Vampire Girl" on the compilation album Give 'Em the Boot III. He continued to work on Devils Brigade in between tours supporting Rancid's 2003 album Indestructible, releasing two singles in 2003 and 2005.
