The Molotovs have announced their biggest London show to date

The Molotovs have announced their biggest London show to date.

The young sibling duo – 17-year-old vocalist/guitarist Matt and 19-year-old bassist/vocalist Issey Cartlidge – will headline the 1,500-capacity Electric Ballroom in Camden on October 23. The show will follow their North American support slot with the mighty Sex Pistols and Frank Carter, whose tour kicks off at Dallas’ Longhorn Ballroom on September 16, and wraps up at The Pearl in Las Vegas on October 17.

The news arrives as the band also look to score their third Number One single with Rhythm Of Yourself, which will be released on October 31 via Marshall Records. “Rhythm Of Yourself is about people who try to take advantage of you because they think you’re young, vulnerable and stupid,” says Matt of the track. “It is also a chant for individualism: dance to the rhythm of yourself, meaning don’t let people change you, don’t let anyone get in the way of your vision – and groove to the beat of your own drum.

“The verses tell the story of an older, cunning man presenting a contract to a young kid, promising him the world whilst trying desperately to change everything about him to satisfy his own needs. The chorus is a ‘sod all that’ type attitude which says to be your own man and do the best with what you’ve got. Musically, the influences are early ’80s stark Jam, Favourite Worst Nightmare era Arctic Monkeys and Sex Pistols.”

The Molotovs’ debut album Wasted On Youth is due out on January 31, 2026.
