RELEASE DEBUT EP ‘A THOUSAND TIMES’
OUT NOW VIA MARATHON ARTISTS
NEW SINGLE ‘RIP IT OUT’ + VIDEO
Rising three-piece HotWax today release their debut EP ‘A Thousand Times’, out now via Marathon Artists. Having taken The Great Escape by storm, the band will play a special sold-out hometown EP release show at Hastings Printworks this Saturday 20th May, with support from Snayx and a Borough Council DJ set. With lead single ‘Treasure’ currently on the BBC Radio 6 Music B-List and a stacked summer of tour dates and festivals ahead of them, the release of ‘A Thousand Times’ is only just the beginning.
“The EP is a homage to mine and Lola’s relationship growing up together and the arguments we’d have a thousand times.” explains lead singer Tallulah; “The EP includes themes of guilt, love, climate change, womanhood, contraception, anxiety, and endings.”
At just 18 years old, the band is already dominating local scenes in the South East and completed a mini UK tour last month followed by support dates with Sad Boys Club, Cumgirl8 and 4 riotous shows at The Great Escape. They’re currently on a support tour with Pearl Harts and play a string of summer festivals including Mad Cool, Visions, and All Points East alongside The Strokes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The release of current single ‘Rip It Out’ follows the EP’s title track and lead single ‘Treasure’ which earned a spot on the BBC Radio 6 playlist as well as a ‘Next Wave’ on BBC Radio 1. The five track EP was produced by Ben Beetham (of Kid Kapichi) and mixed by Mike Horner (Hot Chip, HMLTD, Deaf Havana).
Tallulah, Lola & Alfie are ripping up the template and ripping up stages across the UK. Having only recently left school, their rarified live energy and sound has already won the support of Courtney Love, Nova Twins, Wolf Alice, Jack Saunders, John Kennedy and Matt Wilkinson. HotWax harness the firepower of the grunge pioneers, their songs come armed with mighty choruses, and they possess the imaginative brilliance to stake out a new landscape in guitar music.
