Melbourne’s rock’n’roll kings The Casanovas have 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-awaited 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.
