The band shares the new single & lyric video
Phil X & The Drills share a the audio and lyric video for “I Love You on Her Lips,” a track from their recently released new album Pow! Right in the Kisser via Frontiers Music Srl.
“Everybody knows a friend in a relationship where the partner says ‘I love you,’ but it’s obvious that the partner doesn’t mean it. That’s what ‘I Love You On Her Lips’ is about,” Phil X says. “Love is on her lips but not in her heart. The track goes back to an old punky Drills vibe with classic rock thrown in there. I wanted to have old David Lee Roth-type screams in there to take it over the top. I love the energy & Gary Novak delivered the perfect drums.”
The journey of Phil X & The Drills is one of relentless passion and perseverance. From their early days stirring up the Hollywood rock scene in 2003, to their breakout EP Kick Your Ass in 17 Minutes in 2009, the band has always kept fans hooked with their high-energy sound and jaw-dropping performances. As Phil X became a YouTube sensation through his work demoing vintage guitars for Fretted Americana, the band’s visibility skyrocketed, eventually evolving into the powerhouse known as Phil X & The Drills.
Over the years, the band has worked with an incredible roster of guest drummers, including Josh Freese (Sting, Foo Fighters), Abe Laboriel Jr. (Paul McCartney), and Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), among others. Their release, Stupid Good Lookings Vol. 1, showcased the band’s knack for pushing boundaries and delivering unforgettable rock tracks.
In 2024, Phil X & The Drills hit a new career milestone, opening for Mötley Crüe at Summerfest in Springfield, Illinois, where their performance left ten thousand fans and industry professionals in awe.
The band—featuring guitar hero Phil X from Bon Jovi on lead vocals and guitar and Daniel Spree on bass and backing vocals—is pulling out all the stops on POW! Right In The Kisser, with an all-star lineup of guest drummers including Ray Luzier, and Tico Torres, Kenny Aronoff, and others.
