In the short time that they have been together, Hotel Lux have become one of the most talked about bands on the scene. Emerging from the same South London circuit that has birthed faves like Shame and Goat Girl, the Portsmouth-raised quintet – made up of singer Lewis Duffin, bassist Cam Sims, guitarist Jake Sewell, keyboardist/guitarist Sam Coburn, and drummer Craig Macvicar – have been championed for their “pub rock” sound, gritty realness and deliciously dark lyrics.

FKA Lion Bark were championed by Clash Music, the 405, as well as playing for Burberry Acoustic and Distiller TV, reaching over 680k streams on Spotify. Following the departure of one of the band, they took a short break and have since come back with a more mature sound, but still with the catchy tracks and super smooth vocals. More recently, the Brighton-based band were asked to open for Whitney, Ryley Walker & Swimming Tapes as well as releasing their 2nd EP to positive reviews and radio play.
