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.
