Hailing from Portsmouth, Hampshire, Hotel Lux take their place in front of bleak British times. A maelstrom of post-punk, ska and pub rock, their sound evokes the grit and grime that comes with growing up in a heavily industrialised area.

The five piece formed as the group migrated to East London’s Wapping, an area with a historic docking setting to echo that of their hometown. Hotel Lux are Influenced by the world around them, the works of filmmakers such as Shane Meadows and the ashes of the Brexit referendum. Lyrically, frontman Lewis Duffin paints a landscape of Council flat riots, pints of Guinness, job centre plus and pub pianos whilst poking fun of the world as he sees it. Hotel Lux are the progressive, determined band for the here and now.
