'''The Caulfields''' were an American [alternative rock](/source/alternative_rock) band from [Newark](/source/Newark%2C_Delaware), Delaware which recorded two albums for [A&M Records](/source/A%26M_Records) in the late 1990s.  The group was led by singer-songwriter [John Faye](/source/John_Faye), the frontman for the Philadelphia-based groups IKE. The group is best known for their song "Devil's Diary."

Their first album was 1995's ''Whirligig''. The album's initial single was "Devil's Diary", which received limited radio play as well as exposure on [MTV](/source/MTV). "Devil's Diary" peaked at No. 61 in Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://i.imgur.com/3QcEqBN.jpg|title=The ARIA Australian Top 100 Singles Chart – Week Ending 08 Oct 1995|publisher=Imgur.com (original document published by [ARIA](/source/Australian_Recording_Industry_Association))|accessdate=July 6, 2017}} N.B. The HP column displays the highest peak reached.</ref> The band toured Australia on the back of airplay on popular youth radio station [Triple J](/source/Triple_J), supporting Australian band [Died Pretty](/source/Died_Pretty). 

Two weeks before the release of their second album ''L'' in 1997, [A&M Records](/source/A%26M_Records) fired the [A&R](/source/Artists_and_repertoire) executive representing the band. Six months later the Caulfields disbanded.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rockandrollreport.com/ike-frontman-john-faye-on-musical-failures-successes-new-band-members-and-the-philly-rock-scene|title='IKE' frontman John Faye on musical failures, successes, new band members, and the Philly rock scene}}</ref>
