Featuring the signature guitar riffs of SLASH (Dik Hayd Records) and laced with Jon Stevens’ trademark vocals, Spitfire Music has released THE DEAD DAISIES’ debut single ‘Lock ‘N’ Load’; listen to a full stream now.

“Slash and I wrote 'Lock ‘N’ Load’ which was recorded with Simon Horsford, and John Fields, who produced The Dead Daisies album. Slash loves the song and the album, and is really happy with the way they have turned out. He doesn’t just play on anyone’s album... this is a labour of love.” - Jon Stevens.

Slash recently tweeted in March: 'Heard the mix of 'Lock & Load'. A song Jon Stevens & I wrote. Sounds great. He's recorded it w/his band Dead Daisies. W/my gtrs."
