Much-tipped indie force HotWax have shared new single ‘Drop’.
The band caught our attention at the Great Escape, playing one of the weekend’s most-hyped sets. Snapped up by Marathon Artists, the three-piece released their stellar debut EP ‘A Thousand Times’ earlier this year.
Taking time out to focus on their next step, HotWax will play an epic tour this Autumn with Royal Blood. Alongside this the group have shared a seismic new single, with ‘Drop’ carrying a heavyweight grunge-leaning mixture.
Out now, the band’s pop appeal is evident, and while the needle is pointed firmly to the red HotWax also deliver some ear-worm melodies. A punchy, ambitious return, ‘Drop’ comes equipped with a tongue-in-cheek video shot by Josh Quinton.
Styled in Fall ‘23 Charles Jeffrey, it’s a hilarious UFO-themed video. The film maker comments:
“My aim for this video was to create an explosive & exciting journey through the band members’ brains that matches the exhilarating energy of the song, whilst also fusing their own personal style with my love for trashy 70s B movies and 90s kids TV…”
“I wanted to use the symbolism of space travel to represent the band’s momentum and fresh landing into the world whilst adhering to a strong DIY ethos and reaching maximum altitudes of fun.”
Tune in now.
