RONNIE SIMMONS & THE REDBACK SPIDERS Killer Debut Debut Punk/Rock Single “ALONE WITH YOU”

Australian Rock guitarist Ronnie Simmons and his new band The Redback Spiders debut their killer punk influenced hard rock single “Alone With You” from their upcoming EP “Bite! Part One” today. Based in Sydney Australia now, Ronnie Simmons (Rose Tattoo, Richie Ramone, ex-Faster Pussycat) fronts The Redback Spiders who are Influenced by classic punk and Australian pub rock with a tinge of ska.

When playing live Ronnie is joined by bandmates Hayden McGoogan and Sean Anderson on guitar, Tommy Hills on bass and Chip Scanu on drums. Post two live performances in Sydney they were immediately signed to Suburban Records based in the Netherlands. The EP “Bite! Park One” was written and produced by Ronnie and recorded with Clay Davies at One More Time Recording in Los Angeles, and features iconic industry legends, like Richie Ramone (The Ramones), members of Faster Pussycat and Reverend Horton Heat. The first single “Alone With You” features Ronnie on lead vocals and guitars, the late Chris Moye on drums, and Johnny Martin (LA Guns) on bass.

“It was really cool to have my friends come together to help bring this track to life. Everyone’s support and involvement definitely brought a spirit of fun and energy to the recording process.” – Ronnie Simmons

“Alone With You” captures the essence of being a touring musician whilst trying to maintain a relationship: “Take out your phone and type ‘I miss you too’ as this is basically it.”

“Being a touring musician is everything I dreamed of doing as a teenager, but there’s another side to it. Whether it’s be after a show or after a tour, physically and mentally exhausted, I’d be confronted with the solitude that I’d ultimately chosen. “Alone With You” is about recognizing how lucky I am to get what I wanted, but realizing I’m allowed to want something else too and expressing that.” – Ronnie Simmons

Guns N’ Roses mighty guitarist Slash had this to say after listening to “Alone With You” “Cool song, f’n great guitar sound!” – Slash
