‘Pink Liquor’, the latest single from London psychedelic punk trio Hot Face, is off the scale explosive levels of fun

London punk rock trio Hot Face are finally set to arrive on the scene with some menace, following the announcement of debut album, ‘Automated Response’, alongside the wonderfully scrappy single ‘Pink Liquor’

‘Pink Liquor‘ is a flash in the pan slice of garage-rock goodness. It charts a course between the lyrical hedonism of the Buzzcocks’ ‘Orgasm Addict’ and the frantic guitar sound of Wire’s ‘1 2 X U’, the end result is however, distinctly Hot Face.

The single walks the tightrope between getting what you want, versus getting what you need. Guitarist and vocalist James Bates comments on the single:  “‘Pink Liquor’ is an explosive and raw anti-ode to chaotic hedonism and the madness that follows. A rapid-fire slice of garage-punk that wastes no time. Lyrically, ‘Pink Liquor‘ is a dadaist-collection of vignettes that highlight the unhinged nature of addiction, its chaotic rush and ultimately, it’s consequences. The characters within the song are based upon people whose paths I’ve crossed along the way whose stories reflect those themes – Ugly Joe, for example, was a middle-aged alcoholic satirical cartoonist from the Czech Republic whom I befriended only to find 3 months later that they had died from an overdose. The track is neither a glorification nor a condemnation. It just is.”

‘Pink Liquor’ is an excellent opening statement for a group who seem well placed to capture their reputation for a fierce live show.
