HOTWAX / AYMZ

HOT WAXRaw punk powerhouse HotWax are ripping up the template and ripping up stages across the UK. With a handful of self released tracks, and barely out of school, Tallulah Sim-Savage (vocals and guitar), Lola Sam (bass) and Alfie Sayers (drums) have already shared festival stages with Queens of the Stone Age, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Strokes and their rarified live energy and sound has already won them the support of Nova Twins, Wolf Alice and Jack Saunders. Forging post-punk, grunge and alternative rock, HotWax have created a sound that is both unique and familiar, from the expressive, explosivesnarl of vocalists like Karen O and Courtney Love, to the youthful, irreverent zest of Wet Leg, and the unruly, down-low guitar sound peddled by grunge greats Nirvana and Mudhoney. HotWax have been building their stagecraft since their early teens, delivering high-energy and dynamic live performances with a powerhouse of a rhythm section, bass lines that twist and turn, and superfuzz guitar. Having cut their teeth locally in Hastings, and later in Brighton’s punkier scene, HotWax’s earliest incarnations began when Tallulah and Lola were 12, both from musical families they were thrown together toform a band so they could take part in a competition in their hometown. Fast forward to 2023 and they’re a fully formed trio with huge riXs and dynamite lyrics that pull from Tallulah and Lola’s relationship and their own experiences and thoughts about guilt, love, contraception, global warming, teenage years and womanhood. Tallulah and Lola hope to be known first and foremost as musicians who “love playing live”. Tallulah explains, “I can’t think of anything that makes us feel more excited. I really really change.I completely feel like a diXerent person.” HotWax harness the firepower of the grunge pioneers, with great songwriting and musicianship, they possess the imaginative brilliance to stake out a new landscape in guitar music.www.hotwaxofficial.com/ AYMZ Die Wucht bleibt, die Intensität wächst – und AYMZ ist jetzt eine Band. Nach Jahren als Soloprojekt von Frontperson Amina wird aus AYMZ eine kompromisslose Viererformation: Mit Eunice (Bass), Ella (Gitarre) und Gabschi (Drums) bündeln sich nun vier musikalische Stimmen zu einer kraftvollen Einheit.Alle seit Jahren in der Wiener Szene aktiv, alle mit Erfahrungen von winzigen Kellerclubs bis zu großen Festivalbühnen – jetzt wird diese Energie verdichtet und gemeinsam auf die Bühne katapultiert. AYMZ schwankt zwischen melancholischer Schwere und explosiver Wut, zwischen roher Verletzlichkeit und ungefiltertem Trotz.Mit „Trost & Scherben“ kündigt sich nicht nur die nächste Single, sondern auch ein leidenschaftlicher Aufruf zum Widerstand an – gegen eine Welt, die zunehmend auseinander bricht. Der Song ist eingängig, aufgeladen und kompromisslos ehrlich – ein Soundtrack für alle, die nicht tatenlos zusehen wollen. https://aymzoffizial.com/ Tickets: https://www.oeticket.com/noapp/event/introduction-night-chelsea-20830061/?affiliate=H95
