THE MOLOTOVS LIVE @ BUSH HALL / THURSDAY 11TH DECEMBER @ 7PM
The Molotovs will play a special Christmas show in support of grassroots venues at Bush Hall in west London on Thursday 11th December.
The band will be joined by special guests and funds raised will go to the Music Venue Trust, supporting grassroots music.
In January the Molotovs will release their debut album, Wasted On Youth (Marshall Records) following three top-10 hit singles: ‘More More More’, ‘Today’s Gonna Be Our Day’ and ‘Rhythm Of Yourself’.
Fans can gain entry with an album preorder bundle via Sister Ray.
The band, brother and sister Mathew and Issey Cartlidge, aged 17 and 19, learned their trade by playing more than 600 gigs since they formed in lockdown. They’ve played towns up and down the country and have long supported grassroots venues.
The Save Bush Hall campaign in 2024 was close to the band’s hearts and the venue became the location of their Youth Explosion all-ages gigs - and of a show at which Sex Pistols drummer Paul Cook joined them for a raucous ‘God Save The Queen’.
Matt said: “We can’t wait to get back on that stage at the amazing Bush Hall. 2025 has been a big year for us, and live music generally, and we want to get behind the venues that enable us to have these special nights.”
Despite their youth, Matt and Issey have played more than 600 gigs since 2020. They’ve shared stages with the likes of The Libertines, Sex Pistols, Blondie, Iggy Pop and The Damned – as well as being shouted out by Green Day and Paul Weller.
Issey said: “We’re looking forward to getting lots of friends and familiar faces down to Bush Hall to see out the year. Come down and join us for a massive night in west London”
Bush Hall is a 14+ venue, under-18s must be accompanied by an adult. Your order confirmation counts as your ticket for entry on the day.
London based sister and brother duo The Molotovs debut album 'Wasted On Youth' is a bold mix of new wave punk, indie, and garage rock showcasing the band's raw energy and sharp songwriting
Despite still being in their teens, the album explores important themes of self-empowerment, youthful determination, and the drive to enjoy life in a complicated world. With a sound rooted in rock history but fully alive in the present, the record captures the urgency and spirit of today's youth. Having played over five hundred gigs, The Molotovs have already shared stages with the likes of the Sex Pistols and The Libertines and been shouted out by punk legends Green Day, with The Telegraph highlighting them as one of the rising stars who could share the stage with Oasis. 'Wasted On Youth' is produced by Jason Perry (Don Broco, Trash Boat) and released via Marshall Records.
