Weinman has been teasing the project for some time, along with the fact that he was working with Lewis, who has her own band Juliette And The Licks. Now he tells SiriusXM (via Revolver): "It's something we've been working on for a long time. We finished all the music and we're finalising the vocals now.

"Juliette is singing, along with some other guest people. Me and her have become pretty close friends." But he admits he was skeptical when he first heard of Lewis' band. "I was like, 'Oh, another acts that has a vanity project,'" he recalls.
