HotWax is not just another band; they are a live-wire act captivating the global stage. Fresh from their Download Festival triumph, they’re gearing up to channel that raw, on-stage dynamism into their much-anticipated debut album.

Last time we spoke to HotWax, their tour de force across the UK and support gigs with Royal Blood were just a prologue to their international breakout. Now, with an impressive Download Festival debut under their belts and a line of electrifying shows from Frank Carter to Europe with Deap Valley, they’re redefining what it means to be a powerhouse band.

  • Their stage presence? Stellar, unshakeable.
  • Their music? A bombastic blend of live energy and untamed spirit.
  • Their plan? Channel all of this into their first ever studio album.

Tallulah Sim-Savage, HotWax’s charismatic lead, explains the transformation. Playing countless shows back-to-back, the band has forged a confidence that’s almost second nature, even in the vast ocean of festival tents and roaring crowds.

The band is poised to hit the studio, with tracks ready to lay down, unless, as Lola grins, “a new song comes to life between now and then.”

“We want to capture the way we sound live a lot more than we have on previous releases,” Tallulah shares. The plan is to imbue the debut album with the frenetic energy and excitement that have become their hallmark. The trio’s internal dynamic translates into a stronger, more cohesive sound, and they’re excited to explore more nuanced, mellow tracks, as well.

Tallulah dives deeper into their lyrical world, reflecting the chaotic yet free essence of the past year, and the determination to savor every moment. This album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a sonic diary chronicling their collective journey, their ethos of freedom, and their place in the resurgence of guitar-centric music.

The band acknowledges the gravity of dropping a debut album but chooses to see it as an electrifying leap rather than a daunting challenge.
