There are many Artic Monkeys
wannabes out there. Bands with
lead singers that will put on a
whiney accent and act all rock & roll,
believing they’ll be the next Glasto
headliners – but they will never quite be
in the same calibre. So,
with the amplitude of these
types of new bands ever
growing, it’s making it
harder and harder for upand-comers
of the same
genre to truly allow their
individualism and drive to
beam through the masses.
But when tuning into just
one track of the Shropshire
and Mid Wales trio, The Sun Hotel, all
hope returns with urrying amplitude –
because these three have a talent and
individualism unlike any other.
They are an indie-rock piece
with Joseph Daniel Warham
(Vocals, Bass, Harmonica),
Jon Hamer (Guitar, Vocals)
and Ed Brown (Drums,
Percussion). Starting out as a
three piece in
February 2015 with
classic and modern
rock inuences
coursing out of their
ngertips, these
inuences are still
evident in their work
today as you can
hear their mutual
respect and
admiration for music within
every strum, note and
harmony. These traits make
them rather unique.
