“We had built up a mutual admiration through our label, who also releases Phil’s MANRAZE project, and the idea came up for him to play on a track, and miraculously, it ended up happening. It turned out amazing, we couldn’t be happier or more honored. Phil is such a legendary and spectacular talent, and we were all just blown away with how cool and naturally it came together.” Says Oedipus bassist/vocalist Jeremy Haffner, a sentiment echoed by Collen.
"I loved the track as soon as I heard it. These guys have got phenomenal energy. Playing on it was a blast, and I look forward to hearing the rest of the album."

Legendary Def Leppard/Manraze guitarist Phil Collen has recorded a guest appearance for the
upcoming Oedipus LP Vicious Little Smile, in stores in North America 3/13 via THC : Music/Rocket
Science/RED. Phil contributed lead and rhythm guitars to the track “FINAL MACHINE”.

“We had built up a mutual admiration through our label, who also releases Phil’s MANRAZE project,
and the idea came up for him to play on a track, and miraculously, it ended up happening. It turned out
amazing, we couldn’t be happier or more honored. Phil is such a legendary and spectacular talent, and
we were all just blown away with how cool and naturally it came together.” Says Oedipus bassist/vocalist
Jeremy Haffner, a sentiment echoed by Collen.

"I loved the track as soon as I heard it. These guys have got phenomenal energy. Playing on it was a
blast, and I look forward to hearing the rest of the album."

Produced by Darian Cowgill (Sleeping Giant, Middle Class Rut), Vicious Little Smile formally releases
several of the LA trio’s international hits including “Tres Las”, “Burn It Down”, “Gimme a Chance”, which
have already received airplay in over 30 countries including Poland, Germany, South Africa, Russia,
Croatia, and the US.

For over a decade Oedipus has been one of LA’s best kept secrets, from their roots as an underground
progressive Rock favorite, to achieving status as an international Rock Powerhouse with massive
success in Europe in 2010, when Polish radio giant ESKA ROCK added their single “Tres Las”, which
went on to top the Polish Rock charts, and became the genesis of 3 #1 Polish Rock Singles, followed by
repeated visits to Europe, their last trip including a performance at Ursynalia, where the band performed
at Poland’s biggest open-air festival, alongside Korn, Guano Apes, Alter Bridge, Simple Plan and
more.

Further cementing their position in the forefront of the international Rock World, both “Tres Las”
and “Jack and Ginger” were included on the inaugural Polish editions of the hit International compilation
Now That’s What I Call Music in league with artists including Ke$ha, Snoop Dogg, and Katy Perry.

(Insert “Huge in Poland” joke here.)

The band will return to Europe twice more in 2012, and follow up with a US run in April with Zero 1, the
hard rock project featuring actor/comedian Hal Sparks. Facebook.com/oedipusband oedipusband.com
