PHIL X & THE DRILLS TO RELEASE “RIGHT ON THE MONEY”

Phil X needs no introduction, having been an integral full-time member of Bon Jovi since 2016, after also filling in for Richie Sambora on the 2011, 2013 and 2015 Bon Jovi tours. Now he is back with his band The Drills and a new single Right On The Money which will be released on June 8th, 2020.

Phil  X  (guitar/lead vocals),  Daniel Spree  (bass/backing vocals) and  Brent Fitz  (drums/ backing vocals) went into the legendary  Capitol Studios  with  Chris Lord Alge  so Chris could do a  Mix  With The Masters  master class  on how to track a band.  Right On The Money was one of three songs recorded  that day.  With an uncertainty of the arrangement and very few overdubs,  an incredible energy and urgency was captured by the band with Chris’s direction and here it is as a single for you, the fans.  

Right On The Money, the latest instalment from Phil X & The Drills, is an explosive and dynamic addition to the band’s already legendary discography, featuring fast, punchy guitar, and vocal energy impossible to ignore.

    I have seen his instructional videos, he is very talented, good voice and seems like a super nice human being.

    He’s a way better singer and player than Richie, but Richie co-wrote all those classic songs.
