HotWax

Absolutely smashed it. First time at the Ritz which as a venue is really good. Got to watch the show from up on the balcony as my friend who I was attending with has accessibility needs. Staff we really friendly and helpful making sure she had everything she needed. don't think I've been to a venue with such a high bar space to floor ratio, so there was never a problem getting a pint. Hot Wax came on stage as a whirlwind of energy and attitude. smashing though some of their best songs. Was looking forward to seeing Rip it out being performed live and they did not disappoint. Tallulah at times going from almost a menacing growl to a feral scream, yet never sounding like she over did it or lost control of the vocals. That lady can wail! I cant wait for these guys to headline somewhere in Manchester so we can see a full set from them. As a support act they were perfect, got on whipped the crowd up and then left (judging by the merch queue to meet a whole load of new fans and friends). As a headline I'm sure they'll be epic.
