Wax Head’s live shows have been called “sweaty” and “visceral, ” while their recordings often draw praise for their raw energy and brooding intensity. This drummer fronted psych-punk quartet spent 2025 selling out headline shows across Europe and releasing an EP , 2 singles and a live vinyl album.
Wax Head are on the frontline of a growing wave of British psych and garage-punk. Whether through their brain-tickling riffs or their unpredictable live antics, Wax Head don’t fail to leave a lasting impression.
The band’s music, released through Sour Grapes Records, is a testament to their DIY ethos and experimental spirit. A gritty blend of garage-punk and psychedelia championed by BBC 6 Music (Steve Lamacq, Emily Pilbeam, Deb Grant) and featured on Spotify playlists like Fresh Finds Rock and Rough Trade’s Counter Culture.
With a packed 2026 touring schedule and new music on the way, Wax Head is just getting started.
