HotWax

UK 3-piece HotWax unleash their single "Rip It Out" via Marathon Artists. It's from the band's debut EP A Thousand Times.

"'Rip It Out' is the darkest song I have ever written," explains lead singer Tallulah Sim-Savage. "The lyrics came to me so fast, at a time I was feeling psychotic due to the contraceptive implant. I wanted to create a dramatic, theatrical, melancholic sounding piece, which Lola (bassist/vocalist) put together perfectly. I hope it resonates with women who have gone through a similar thing and raises awareness about how contraception needs to be updated."

The Hastings, England based band consists of Tallulah Sim-Savage (vocalist/guitarist), Lola Sam (bassist/vocalist), and Alfie Sayers (drummer). Their five-track EP released in May was produced by Ben Beetham (of Kid Kapichi) and mixed by Mike Horner (Hot Chip, HMLTD, Deaf Havana).

"The EP is a homage to mine and Lola’s relationship growing up together and the arguments we’d have a thousand times,” said Sim-Savage. "The EP includes themes of guilt, love, climate change, womanhood, contraception, anxiety, and endings."

Having only recently left school, their rarified live energy and sound has already won the support of Courtney Love, Wolf Alice, among others. The band harnesses the firepower of the grunge pioneers through songs armed with mighty choruses, and they possess the imaginative brilliance to stake out a new landscape in guitar music.
