HOT VOX Presents: Fools By Design // SANTÙ // Masiba // FOURA.M // x-blu
The Workshop is a little gem of a discovery underneath The Star in Shoreditch. With an underground hacienda feel, this venue is the perfect setting for bands cutting their teeth on the scene, or those wanting to get up close and personal with the crowd.
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/fools-by-design/Fools By Design are an alt-rock duo from London, with their debut EP available from May 3rd. Inspired by bands like Muse and Royal Blood, their sound is unique, heavy and high energy.
Seb and Max met at Uni, where, after one jam, knew they played so well together they had to start a band. Just two guys, wanting to make a lot of noise.
SANTÙ
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/santu/The untamed, unforgettable Alternative Rock band making waves across the West Midlands. Boasting a unique blend of influences, from Blues and Soul to Progressive Rock, Santù’s sonic identity is paving the way for newly reformed ‘Rock n Roll’ sparking a reminiscent sound to bands of the golden of the 70s such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and FREE.
The band’s high-octane energy, meaty riffs, and infectious presence draw crowds from renowned festivals such as The Great Escape and 2000 Trees.
With no plans of stopping, 2024 looks promising for this true rock outfit as they prepare the release of their first EP early this year.

This eclectic group are crafting a sound that whispers of nostalgia while simultaneously creating something fresh and new.
