Today, Phil X & The Drills are proud to unleash their latest album, POW! Right In The Kisser. Alongside the release, out via Frontiers Music Srl, the band is sharing the hot fresh track, “Broken Arrow.” A visualizer for the single can be found below.
About the “Broken Arrow,” Phil X comments: “I’m really excited for our fans to witness the growth of the Drills. Songs like ‘Broken Arrow’ add a dimension to my songwriting and my voice. I wrote that song after hearing of Chris Cornell’s passing which sparked deep thoughts about challenges and dealing with options. There’s a lot of depth on POW! Right In The Kisser and I can’t wait for the world to hear it.”
About the new album, he adds: “POW! Right In The Kisser was a good ten years in the making. ‘Battleship’ was tracked in 2014. I just kept writing, and we’d record and then kept the whole ‘different drummer on every song’ thing going. It became a very special collection of songs & vibes. It’s very exciting for me to share something like that with the world.”

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 (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 most recent 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, IL, where their performance left 10,000 fans and industry professionals in awe. Now, with POW! Right In The Kisser, they’re set to take the next big step in their musical journey.
