Phil X (Theofilos Xenidis), studio guitarist, songwriter and renowned guitarist for Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame inductees BON JOVI, and his band THE DRILLS will release a new single, “‘I Love You’ On Her Lips” on February 8 via Golden Robot Records. The track features Phil X on guitars and lead vocals, Daniel Spree on bass and backing vocals, and Gary Novak on drums. Gang vocals were laid down by Steve Ferlazzo, Joe Lester, Matt Starr and Marq Torien (BULLETBOYS).

“‘‘I Love You’ On Her Lips’ is TOTAL DRILLS,” Phil said. “A hooky, energetic, big guitar punch in the face with wit and a little silliness. Everyone knows someone who says one thing and feels another. This is that with a twist.”

PHIL X & THE DRILLS recently completed work on their fifth album, “Stupid Good Lookings Vol. 2”, which will be released in the near future on Golden Robot Records. Featuring a different drummer on every song, which reads like a who’s who, with the likes of Tommy Lee, Liberty Devitto, Kenny Aronoff and Ray Luzier, the music promises to be extremely diverse.

PHIL X & THE DRILLS, have been enjoying a rapidly growing international fan base supported by the release of four strong albums: “Kick Your Ass In 17 Minutes” (2009), “We Bring The Rock N Roll” (2011), “We Play Instruments N Sh!t” (2012) and “Stupid Good Lookings Vol. 1” ( 2019).

First a prolific session guitar staple in Los Angeles, California, recording with the likes of Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie, Daughtry, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Cornell, among many others (and even extends to playing with Canadian rock royalty such as TRIUMPH, Aldo Nova, OUR LADY PEACE, Avril Lavigne, THEORY OF A DEADMAN and more), Phil X became known for hosting the “Fretted Americana” web show that boasted over 50 million collective views.

In March of 2016, Phil was invited to Electric Lady Studios in New York to record guitars and background vocals on the BON JOVI record “This House Is Not for Sale”. The album was released later that year, reaching No. 1 on the charts, with the album artwork including Phil in the band shots, confirming his position in the band as an official member.
