Philip Sayce has released a new single, Oh! That Bitches Brew, his first new music in three years. The song is the first from his new album, The Wolves Are Coming, set for release on 23 February 2024.
Oh! That Bitches Brew is a musical interpretation of a memory that came flooding back to Philip one day. “The song came together quite quickly one evening,” Philip told us. “I was sitting on the couch and started playing the riff that became the song’s main riff. I dug it and thought, ‘What am I going to say about this?
“Oh, I know, I remember that time someone gave me a drink at a party called The Bitches Brew, and it totally fucked me up. And that’s what the song became. It came together in about ten minutes.”

In April 2020, Philip released his seventh full-length album called Spirit Rising. Unfortunately, the timing was not ideal. The release coincided with the Covid pandemic. However, Philip did not let this discourage him. He turned to Instagram and focused on building a stronger connection with his fans.
He started posting daily videos that showcased his powerful and emotional playing. As a result, his following increased by over 300%. Despite not being able to tour, make promotional visits, or receive radio play, Spirit Rising has achieved an impressive 13 million streams on Spotify alone. This is a remarkable accomplishment for any independent blues rock artist.
Philip Sayce has a full schedule of tour dates on the calendar through the rest of 2023, including a number of North American dates and a long-overdue and eagerly anticipated return to the UK and Europe. Joining Philip on the road are drummer Bryan Head (Roger Hodgson, Foreigner) and bassist Sam Bolle (Agent Orange, Donavon Frankenreiter), both of whom have played live dates with Philip for the past few years after having cut their teeth together as Dick Dale’s rhythm section.
Special guest for the UK leg of the tour is Troy Redfern. The Wolves Are Coming can be pre-ordered from here.
