Listen to HotWax's "relentless and addictive" new single, One More Reason

Fast-rising alt.rock trio HotWax have dropped another taste of their upcoming debut album Hot Shock in the form of new single One More Reason.

To celebrate the release of the single, the band are playing an intimate launch party tonight at The Divine in East London.

Speaking about One More Reason, vocalist Tallulah Sim-Savage says, “When we were at Stella’s [Mozgawa from Warpaint] studio in Joshua Tree we were jamming together and Lola [Sam, bassist] started with this bass riff. Instantly Stella said, ‘We have to record this!’ We got it down as a jam idea and over the next months we wrote One More Reason. We wanted it to feel like the opening song at a festival set, we wanted it to be relentless and addictive. It’s about loving someone so much you kinda hate it, which is relentless and addictive.“

Alongside the new single, HotWax have also announced a string of shows across the UK this spring. Catch them at one of the dates below.
