HotWax - A Thousand Times EP (2023) Hi-Res

HotWax finally release their first EP and it’s a five song romp of modern grunge that is surely the best debut of the year reckons Wayne AF Carey…

Just to bore you from the start… LTW discovered this band way before the so called big boys got their hands on them. With a little help from my friends (Beatles shit quote there) Evil Blizzard, I was nudged into the direction of this: Stay Cool. Boss man John Robb was a little slow on the uptake but caught up here. But it’s not about us. It’s about the best new band around and we have a little review.

Fuck me! This is a twat to the ears from the start! A proper grunge attack from the opener Treasure which has what it says on the tin. A massive riff with sensual vocals that drag you in. It’s got some of best drumming and riffs I’ve heard for a while. A fuck off unit I’ve not heard for a while. Think Throwing Muses, Hole and a massive crunch of arena rock that could shit all over you’ve heard. Accomplished musicianship from a band that are slaying it. All I Want is a psychedelic grunge romp that kicks you in the nether regions like a horses hoof with a fury that commands attention.
