The Molotovs

The Profile

Per the DeBaser review, The Molotovs began as a busking cover band in 2020, built a repertoire heavy on The Jam and classic UK rock touchstones, and released the debut album “Wasted On Youth” featuring original songs by Issey and Mathew.

From the provided review: they started busking in 2020; the members referenced are Issey and Mathew; they reportedly played over 500 live gigs before releasing recorded material; their debut album is “Wasted On Youth”.

The single available review frames The Molotovs as a young, Jam-influenced rock duo that began busking in 2020 and rapidly amassed extensive live experience. It praises several originals on “Wasted On Youth” as a convincing revival of late-’70s UK energy, while also noting at least one less successful stylistic experiment. The writing leans heavily on comparisons to The Jam, The Clash, The Who, Oasis, and other British rock touchstones.
