_**“It’s like they’ve captured all my favourite rock acts – Cheap Trick, Stones,
Kiss, ZZ Top & AC/DC, and crammed them all into their own jar of Vegemite.”**_ –**
James Young** (owner of the world famous **Cherry Bar**)

Melbourne’s rock’n’roll kings **The Casanovas** have today released the riff-rocking
new single “The Devil In Me”. It follows the surprise release of the “When You Want
Something From Me” last October on the eve of the band’s long-awited European tour,
and is the second single from their forthcoming fifth album,** **_**Backseat Rhythms**_,
which will be released **August 25.**

“The Devil In Me” and indeed all of _Backseat Rhythms_ was mixed by legendary US
producer **Ron Nevison** – a man who made his mark working on an engineer on **The
Who’s **_**Quadrophenia**_**, Bad Company**‘s debut and **Led Zeppelin’s **_**Physical
Graffiti **_before going onto produce **Thin Lizzy, UFO** and **Kiss** amongst others.

“The Devil In Me” is 3:18 of classic Casanovas; a pure distillation of the riff-
heavy and melodic ’70s hard rock that they love, bottled into the aural equivalent
of one of those minibar miniatures that always leaves you wanting more.
_Backseat
Rhythms _will follow the band’s Covid-afflicted 2020 album _**Reptilian Overlord**_,
which got the best reviews of the band’s career, and a rapturously received European
tour in October 2022. That tour came nearly 20 years to the month since they first
toured Europe with **The Datsuns**, and took in 15 shows across Spain, France, Holland,
Sweden, Denmark, Germany (including a performance on the legendary **Rockpalast!**).

The new recordings are the first to feature new drummer **Brett “Wolfie” Wolfenden**
who joined in time to tour the last album and who has previously played with **The
Pictures**, legendary **Masters Apprentices frontman Jim Keays **and **Todd Rundgren**.
Wolfie is helping The Casanovas take their sound to new levels.

Stay tuned for tour updates and more news about _Backseat Rhythms._

**_“’The Casanovas are at their best when they’re just joyously rocking out, and‘
Reptilian Overlord’ is filled to the brim: “Cold Day in Hell”, “Stand Back” and 
the supremely rocking “Red Hot” are simply parties looking for a place to happen,
and that place should be the cars and living rooms of anyone who needs to something
kick-ass right now.”  8/10_** – Loud

_**“Summing up: wonderful songs, wonderful songwriters, wonderful band. Hopefully
when the world gets back to its normal self, we can go watch them rock the fuck 
out. The Casanovas will be a priority for me, and I want to hear these songs live.”
5/5**__ –_ I94 Bar

**_“With ‘Reptilian Overload’, The Casanovas sign off on their best album, a concentrate
of hard rock with a sublime heavy touch! The Australian tradition continues!”  _****
5/5** – United Rock Nations, France

**_“You can compare The Casanovas with bands like AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, Airbourne,
a little bit of Kiss or the Stones. Ass-kicking Hard Rock with a light Glam / Sleaze
note – sometimes hot and sometimes bluesy.” 8/10_** – Rock Garage, Germany

**The Casanovas** formed in 1999 and got caught up in the early 21st-century rock
mania, sharing a bill with a barely known White Stripes early on before touring 
Europe with **The Datsuns**. Then came** SXSW**, **Triple J** rotation, **The Big
Day Out**, and shows/tours with **Motörhead**, **Mötley Crüe**, **The Darkness**,**
The Living End**, **The Black Crowes**, **Redd Kross, Airbourne** and others.

They always had deeper roots though; they were as much **The Powder Monkeys** as**
AC/DC**, and very much a merging of two great local traditions – hard rocking punk
and larrikin Oz rock – so they naturally stuck to their guns when rock was no longer
in fashion.

These days it’s like the early days at the Tote all over, and with new drummer **
Brett Wolfenden** on board (Wolfie is a longtime sideman of **You Am I**’s **Davey
Lane** and has played with **Jim Keays** and **Todd Rundgren**), joining frontman/
guitarist **Tommy Boyce** and longtime bass player **Damo Campbell**, they are finding
an even greater joy in playing.
