Kevin David Wood[1] (born September 16, 1961) is an American musician known for playing lead guitar in various Seattle-based bands he founded during the grunge era in the Pacific Northwest.

Over time, Kevin and his younger brothers formed several seminal Seattle bands including Malfunkshun,[3] Mother Love Bone,[4] The Fire Ants,[5] and Devilhead.

Endino was assisted during the recordings by engineer Phil Ek who later went on to produce albums for Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, and Mudhoney.

[12] The resulting release ‘Stripped’ was a 6-track EP that included lead single ‘Bodies by the Side of the Road’, as well as ‘Mine, His, Alive’, ‘100 Wives’, ‘Waiting on your love’, ‘Powerhead’ and ‘The Letter Says (demo track)’.

In 1992, following the break-up of The Fire Ants, Kevin Wood co-founded his new band Devilhead, working again with his brother Brian as lead singer.

[13] Kevin Wood teamed up with Mother Love Bone drummer Greg Gilmore to reform Malfunkshun and record the 'Her Eyes' album[14] in 2002.
