HotWax share grungy latest single ‘Wanna Be A Doll’
Their anticipated debut album ‘Hot Shock’ lands next Spring.

Rising rock trio HotWax have unveiled their storming new single ‘Wanna Be A Doll’, the second track to be lifted from their forthcoming debut album ‘Hot Shock’ (due to arrive on 7th March 2025 via Marathon Artists).
“This was the first song we wrote for the album,” shares vocalist Tallulah Sim-Savage, “we rewrote it in so many different ways and it ended up pretty similar to the first version, which seems to be how it goes.” Continuing, she has explained that “it’s a song where I am writing about myself from someone else’s point of view, being self aware of my bad - sometimes destructive - traits.”
