‘When All Became None’, from fictional movie band Devin Crane and the Ragged Way, is out now. The character of Devin Crane has appeared in 2021’s Morbid Colors, 2023’s Real Cool Time, and 2025’s The Ghost That Wouldn’t Die. All written and directed by Matthew Packman. You don’t need to know anything about Devin Crane to enjoy this track, but knowing the character and the story adds a new layer of excitement and intrigue to it. Devin Crane is a tortured soul, and this comes through strongly throughout. She’s also a rock star and that means we get a punchy blast of body-shaking heavy groove with infectious qualities. There’s danger here though, but that is what you get with Devin Crane. We spoke to Matthew about the track, its origins, how it all came together, and more. As well as discussing the future of Devin Crane, horror films, and Halloween!
