The Molotovs, London’s most ferocious new rock outfit, have well and truly detonated onto the scene with their white-hot debut single, “More More More.” A visceral, unflinching anthem bursting with youth, restlessness, and nocturnal energy, the song sums up the chaos of youth, the ennui of suburbia, and the search for something out of reach, something beyond or better than the night before.
The Molotovs have been on a tireless tear for a year, bringing their sound to every sweat-soaked joint that’ll have them. That relentless work ethic made them a live force to be reckoned with, and now that energy has been distilled into “More More More,” a song that demands more.
From its very first blistering riff, “More More More” tears forward with a reckless urgency, punchy guitars, and a tireless rhythm section, laying the groundwork for a story of discontent. It’s a song that relishes frustration with routine, vacuous relationships, and the inebriating cycle of numbing distractions. It has an almost mocking self-awareness in the lyrics, recognizing the hollow highs of drinking and partying while concealing the craving for something authentic.
Guitarist Mathew Cartlidge explained that it’s about being in a transient relationship you don’t care about. Filling up time with drinking and partying to slog you through the banal boredom of life, a band-aid for your personality deficiency, and knowing, deep down, that you want more. That restless sentiment leaches into every note of the track. The guitar’s nip, the drum’s wallop, and the vocals convey a kind of raw defiance that only a band on the verge of something great can muster. With “More More More,” The Molotovs demonstrate that they are a fully-fledged force. This debut shouts, announcing that they’ve arrived to shake things up.
