The Molotovs Launch Debut Single 'More More More' Following Sex Pistols Support

Get ready to rock with The Molotovs! Their new single 'More More More' is an anthem for restless souls, following their support slot with the Sex Pistols.

Introduction to The Molotovs and Their New Release

The Molotovs have burst onto the scene with their energetic debut single, 'More More More,' after recently opening for the iconic Sex Pistols. This track promises to capture the essence of youthful exuberance and desire.

Produced by the talented Jason Perry (known for his work with Don Broco and Trash Boat) and mixed/mastered by Blair Crichton of Dead Pony, the song is a vibrant fusion of guitar riffs and bass lines that harken back to the early 2000s UK indie rock scene, reminiscent of bands like The Libertines.

Track Highlights and Themes

In the chorus, frontman and guitarist Mathew Cartlidge belts out:

“Whoa / All you want is more more more / Yea / Cause I’m quite sure that you don’t really care.”

This raucous anthem serves as a rallying cry for those seeking fleeting pleasures while pondering if a simpler life might be more fulfilling.

The accompanying music video, directed by Nico Beyer, showcases Cartlidge and his sister, Issey, who plays bass in the band, sprinting down a tube station in suits. The visuals culminate in a captivating performance in front of a dazzling wall of lights.

A Deeper Look at the Song's Meaning

Speaking about the inspiration behind 'More More More,' Mathew shared, “It’s about existing in a transient relationship that you feel indifferent about. Filling up time with drinking and partying to distract you from the mundane boredom of life, covering up for lack of personality, and deep down knowing you want more.”

This lyrical depth reveals the band's desire to resonate with those who grapple with life's fleeting moments, reminding listeners of the importance of seeking genuine connections.

Musical Influences

Mathew also elaborated on the band's musical influences, stating, “Musically, our influences stem from greats like The Jam, Green Day, and the Sex Pistols. Sonically, we aimed for the band to reflect our adoration of the late '70s and early ‘80s new wave/mod revival.”

This blend of influences shapes The Molotovs' unique sound, appealing to both nostalgic fans and new listeners alike.
