With the recently released A Quest For Knowledge EP already luring stronger and keener attention the way of The Sun Hotel, the British alternative rock trio is poised to pile on the temptation with a new single July 1st. The song is the title track from their current EP, a song which bounces along with devilment in its adventure and pure magnetism in its boisterous attitude and character.
With members hailing from Shropshire and North Wales, The Sun Hotel began on 2014 as a folk duo of guitarist/vocalist Jon Hamer and drummer Ed Brown. As its line-up evolved with the addition of vocalist/bassist Joe Warham in the February of 2015, so the band’s sound grew into the striking and fiercely engaging proposal offered by the new single inspired by classic and modern rock influences. Last year also saw the release of a self-titled and self-produced EP in August, a collection of demos backing up an acclaim earning live presence. This past March, the threesome recorded their new EP with producer Gavin Monaghan (Editors, The Sherlocks, Robert Plant) at Magic Garden Studios UK, an encounter which leaps at ears with creative relish, and in no more persuasive form than in forthcoming single, A Quest For Knowledge.
The track instantly engages ears with its guitar clang and rhythmic clash yet the hearty melodic warmth and endeavour which soon blossoms is already there laying its initial bait. Quite quickly the song has thoughts dipping into some nostalgic comparisons, the track carrying a scent of seventies/eighties power pop/new wave which simply sparks the imagination. In some ways there is an element of The Might Lemon Drops and Purple Hearts to the song but similarly, while creating its own individual character, current bands like The Jacques and The Sherlocks are hues in the mix.
There is also a great fiery edge to A Quest for Knowledge which simply adds to the enthralling theatre of the song and if new to The Sun Hotel, there is no better way to approach them than through this irresistible single.
A Quest for Knowledge, the single, is released July 1st.
