Attention, music aficionados! Get ready to groove to the electrifying beats of Hotel Mira as they make their grand entrance into the UK music scene. Fresh off their stellar performances at SXSW, this Canadian band is set to captivate audiences with their latest single, “Waste Away”, released on April 26th via Light Organ Records.
Led by the charismatic frontman and songwriter, Charlie Kerr, Hotel Mira is not your average alternative pop act. With guitarist Clark Grieve, bassist Mike Noble, and drummer Cole George rounding out the quartet, they are a force to be reckoned with, destined for arenas and beyond.
But “Waste Away” is more than just a catchy tune; it’s a powerful narrative that delves into the dark realities of domestic abuse. Kerr’s poignant lyrics shed light on the tendency to blame oneself, the confusion surrounding abusive behavior, and the daunting task of mustering the courage to leave a toxic relationship. It’s a love letter to the courage and resilience of survivors, a message that resonates deeply with Kerr and his close friends.
Drawing inspiration from his experience as an actor and playwright, Kerr infuses Hotel Mira’s music with storytelling prowess. Live performances are nothing short of mesmerizing, with Kerr’s stage presence channeling the energy of Iggy Pop and the theatrics of experimental theatre. Supported by the sweeping soundscape created by Mike, Cole, and Clark, each song becomes a captivating journey through melodrama and passion.
Hotel Mira’s journey to the top has been paved with hard work and dedication. From supporting acts like Billy Talent and My Chemical Romance’s Frank Iero to headlining their own tours, they’ve left an indelible mark on the music scene. And with their latest single, they’re pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories, from neon-trashy garage rock to festival-sized pop hooks and glam-bop balladry.
So mark your calendars and catch Hotel Mira live at their upcoming shows in London, including a performance at The Impressive/Planetary Showcase and gigs at Moth Club and The Victoria, Dalston. Trust us; you won’t want to miss this musical extravaganza. “Waste Away” is just the beginning of what promises to be an exhilarating journey with Hotel Mira.
