🔥NEW UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT!🔥
🤘New release from: HOT ONE TWO – Virtues (October 10, 2025)🤘
Hailing from Cambridge, The Hot One Two are a four-man unit built on a foundation of bone-shaking riffs and pure swagger. With Nick Blackburn on bass and Joe Chivers on drums locking down a rhythm section that hits like a freight train, the band delivers a relentless, no-frills rock assault. The fire is fuelled by Nick Manners‘ searing lead guitar and the raw power of frontman Simon West, a combination that turns every live show into a full-blown demolition derby. This is rock and roll, stripped down and turned up to eleven.
Following the successful release of two EPs, the band’s momentum culminated in their debut album, Superbia, in November 2023. The critically acclaimed concept album, exploring the seven deadly sins, featured Planet Rock‘s track of the week, “The Fray“, and cemented the band as a force to be reckoned with. A successful UK tour with Welsh rockers Scarlet Rebels further solidified their reputation.
So far, 2025 has been a monumental year for The Hot One Two. The band have electrified festival stages across the UK, captivating new audiences with their explosive live performances. Amidst this whirlwind of activity, they’ve been hard at work behind closed doors, channelling that raw energy into their most ambitious project yet: the upcoming album, Virtues. This album promises to be a powerful statement, pushing the band’s sound to new heights and delving into themes that will resonate long after the music stops. The Hot One Two are ready to unveil a new chapter, and they invite you to join them on this journey.
