"Devil's Best Friend " is a collaboration between Redlight King's Mark (Kaz) Kasprsyk and Jeremy Edge. It makes a stylistic departure for them both as a groovy fuzz laden, delta blues inspired stomp.
"The song is really about being drawn to someone who's not good for you and instead of removing yourself from a toxic situation you only dig yourself deeper in. As for the down and dirty blues rock vibe, we've been tight with Jeremy for over a decade and it only made sense to do a collab." -Mark (Kaz) Kasprsyk (continue)

To mark Valentine's Day, Sir Rod Stewart and Jools Holland with his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra release "Pennies From Heaven," their third offering from the exquisite collaborative album Swing Fever - out February 23rd on Warner Records.
The track sees a sensational interpretation of the early American classic written by Arthur Johnston and Johnny Burke. As Jools explains, "It's such a lovely song and you can do it a lot of different ways. The lyrics are very optimistic and positive, and in the mouth of Rod, they're like modern poems of the 20th century. It's an expression of joy and the message of it is, 'It's going to be alright.'"

ONOFF are marking Valentine's Day with the release of their new single "What Matters Most", and to celebrate we asked them to tell us about the new track. Here is the story:
Greatly inspired by the passing of a family member in the band, this string quartet driven rock anthem mentions topics of Love, Loss, Winners & Losers.. The first co-written track produced by the band has a reminiscence of a Lennon & McCartney style contradictory lyric with the ying & yang in full effect.. For an example "I've got to admit it's getting better, a little better all the time, it can't get no worse". What Matters Most has an ambience of an early U2 eighty's guitar sound accompanied by the harmonious group vocals of The Police.. (continue)
