HotWax is a blazing hot trio that creates post-punk and alternative rock, carving out its own style while simultaneously paying homage to the legacy of grunge pioneers with its unwavering and energetic music. The band, equipped with a strong DIY attitude, released its first self-produced singles in 2020. The trio consists of singer-guitarist Tallulah Sim-Savage, bassist Lola Samin, and drummer Alfie Sayers, and their style reflects the diverse influences of the music they listen to.
The band cites inspirations such as Amy Winehouse and Blondie, and their debut EP garnered comparisons to acts like The White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. HotWax, speculated by NME as the next big British guitar band, has been seen as an opening act for notable names like The Strokes, Royal Blood, and Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, not overshadowed by larger names thanks to their powerful live energy.
