While still playing gigs in Jackson, the band caught the eye of rock producer Malcolm Springer (Matchbox 20, Collective Soul).
One is that the band was named after a song written by lead singer Josh Brown, called "Full Devil Jacket".
They first released an EP titled A Waxbox to Put Your Frankenstein Head In... in October 1999,[2] followed by an eponymous LP in March 2000[2] that was certified gold.
Full Devil Jacket recruited a new lead singer (Ben Hatch; then Jamie Martin) and a new second guitarist (Dave White) and recorded an unreleased EP under their new name of WaxBox before dissolving altogether.
Full Devil Jacket announced a one-time reunion concert on June 19, 2010, in Jackson, Tennessee, to benefit the James Michael Reaves Medical Expense Fund.
While recovering in rehab and working on their second album, he converted to Christianity and left the band, retreating to Jackson, Tennessee.
After several years, Josh Brown re-entered the music scene with his new project Day of Fire which was signed to Essential Records until 2007.
Following two years of going unsigned, DoF signed with Razor and Tie Records, and released their third album titled Losing All in January 2010.
After Full Devil Jacket, Reaves toured Europe with a band called Travisty and briefly worked with the pop singer Jasmine Cain.
He is thanked by Jonathan Montoya in Saliva's latest CD liner notes for endorsing the band with custom Kramer guitars.
In 2016, Kevin joined pop artist and former co-writing partner of Mike Reaves, Jasmine Cain as part of her touring band.
