HotWax - "One More Reason"

Photo by Emma Jones

Hailing from the UK, HotWax have a new single out while we wait for their debut album next month. "One More Reason" is a hyper punk track that is incredibly infectious and catchy. The song barrels at you for its entire three minute length. It has a bit of that newfangled punk sound that is injected with some pop and is surprisingly dance friendly, but "One More Reason" sounds more like New Wave than modern pop music. It sounds kind of like if Blondie veared more into post-punk territory than they ever did. If you've never heard HotWax before, this is a great introduction to the band. Be prepared to get sucked into their music instantly.

Tallulah Sim-Savage says of the band's latest single:

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.”

You can watch the video for "One More Reason" below. Hot Shock is due out March 7 on Marathon Artists, and is available for pre-order here. For more on HotWax, check out the band's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the video.
