Hot Fiction

A 70 ’ s inspired funk rock duo from London , Hot Fiction are to psychedelia what Hunter S Thompson is to literature .
WIth a sound that makes you want to take peyote and wander the desert searching for the new sound , they appear cut from the same cloth ( albeit in a stripped down way ) as the likes of Jefferson Airplane and Deep Purple , with comparisons able to be made to the great Queens Of The Stoneage .

Jetpack Elastic

As a partnership Andy and Simon are a perfect match . With the seldom seen pairing of vocals and drums , Hot Fiction immediately stand apart . Powerful , wailing vocals wash over hazy , echoing drums and fat riffage . Superb .
Formed out of a mutual respect for alternative rock and a paired talent for songwriting , Jetpack Elastic are a female fronted Brighton band with sultry and stylistic energy .
Influenced by the likes of Metallica , Blur , Kasabian ,
The Subways and Led Zeppelin , the foursome ’ s sound fits well into a classic rock mould , but they spill out of the container too , seeping into blues and modern rock .
With exciting , potentially controversial lyrics , Jetpack
Elastic possess a deep , raw talent that transfers itself into a vibe that ’ s as exciting as it is powerful .
With EP , Not So Black And White , released this year to positive reception , Lucy Holland and Co are clearly born for this .
