Product description


Simply stunning debut album that has power, passion, tunes and brings the same joy into the room like Hole or Elastica. In the past two years, the Hastings-via-Brighton trio - comprising Tallulah Sim-Savage (vocals/guitar), Lola Sam (bass) and Alfie Sayers (drums) - have toured the world over, clocking up over 150 dates, including shows with Royal Blood and Frank Carter, and major festival appearances at Reading and Leeds and All Points East. Out of all this comes debut album Hot Shock (via Marathon Artists), a record of adrenaline- jolted anthems about abandoning fear and leaping boldly towards the future.

HotWax worked with an all-female production team at the prestigious RAK studios, Catherine Marks (Boygenius, Wolf Alice) and Steph Marziano (Hayley Williams, Let's Eat Grandma), as well as additional recording with Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint in Joshua Tree, California.

These songs were made to be played to a crowd, loud and with abandon. But there's also a beating pulse of vulnerability underscoring the album. It's an honest, moving sentiment sure to propel HotWax towards becoming the UK's next big crossover rock act - and beyond.

For fans of Hole, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, Mudhoney and Elastica.
