Hard Wax - This Is The Sound

 

  Hard Wax are the UK "bovver rock" band featuring Tom Boutwood (Arch Rivals, Hostile Minds) and Matt Couch (Hostile Minds) who've appeared on here a couple of times previously with Kings Of The Weekend and Bootboy Stomp (All Night Long). They return today with a brand new track which is equally impressive. It's taken from their upcoming album on Rebellion Records. If you missed their debut album, Diamond In The Rough, you can check it out on Spotify... https://open.spotify.com/artist/1t6ga0aAaqU5nbIm6EG8jy?si=ztmTkIjYS_6kXUpglh2nOw

  Rather than the oi sound of their other bands, the vibe given off by Hot Wax is influenced by the early to mid 70's UK glam rock scene. The footwear is more bovver boot than silver glitter wedges, the hair is more early Slade than Mick Ronson and there's no make up in sight but the music is definitely of the glam stomp variety, albeit performed by hoolies.

  Boding well for album number 2, this is the sound of rock n roll performed by a band at the top of their game. They're here to rock this place and they do just that so turn up the volume and dance to the sound of the bovver beat. This Is The Sound...

Hard Wax - Kings of the Weekend

 "We don't live our lives for the nine to five 

When the weekend comes, it's our time!"

  Hard wax describe their sound as UK bovver rock and they're a new band featuring Tom Boutwood who also plays drums in Arch Rivals and who plays bass and sings for Hostile Minds. As far as I'm aware the band is pretty much a solo venture for Tom but he's aided and abetted by his former Seven Year Itch compadre Matt Couch on bass.

  They have a debut 7" single on Rebellion Records which featured Kings Of The Weekend and Unstoppable and it's been justifiably picking up some very positive reviews.

  A mid paced modern oi classic featuring an anthemic chorus, this is Kings Of The Weekend.....
