How do you know when your rock’n’roll molotov is really exploding? When you come home from a lockdown busking session with £600 in your pocket? When Green Day start advertising your gigs on the radio? Or when you look into the wings at a show and see Sex Pistol Paul Cook offering to join you on stage?
It’s been quite a rise for incendiary London three-piece The Molotovs, who bring their own modern rock vivacity to the sounds of mod, punk and power pop. Formed by teenage siblings Issey and Mat Cartilidge during the pandemic, who, along with drummer Ice, began busking in parks and at protests.
