The Molotovs Electrify Rock City with an Unforgettable Opening Act

Rock City is buzzing with anticipation as fans cram into the iconic venue for the opening night of Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols’ UK tour. The Molotovs, a fiery indie rock outfit from London, are tasked with igniting the night, and boy, they set the place alight.

As the three piece band swagger onto the stage, it is clear The Molotovs mean business. Lead Singer Matt Molotov, looking dapper in a sharp, tailored suit, commands the crowds attention with his magnetic presence. His smart dress is a stark contrast to the raw, unfiltered energy of their music, creating a captivating juxtaposition that draws the crowd in. His charisma is undeniable, making every moment feel intimate and charged.

Also on stage is Issey Carts, the bass player, who steals the show, wearing a military-style red jacket—a nod to punk’s rebellious roots. The bold colour and structured design of the jacket adds a visual punch to The Molotovs performance, perfectly complementing the band’s aesthetic. Her stage presence is nothing short of magnetic, and her bass lines supply a rock-solid foundation that drive the band’s sound forward.

Musically, The Molotovs are a force to be reckoned with. Their set packed with sharp, catchy tunes which included “Johnny Don’t Be Scared” & “More, More, More” has the crowd moving from the get-go. Blending indie rock with punk sensibilities, their songs are a masterclass in infectious hooks and driving rhythms. Each track delivered with precision and passion, showcasing the band’s tight musicianship and dynamic stage presence.

Coming as a highlight of the night is their audacious cover of David Bowie’s “Suffragette City.” The Molotovs putting their own spin on the classic, infusing it with their signature sound while staying true to the original’s spirit. The crowd erupts as soon as they recognise the opening riff, and the energy in the room skyrockets. It’s a bold move, and one that pays off, as the band deliver a rendition that is both respectful and refreshingly unique.

As their set closes, it’s clear The Molotovs have won the crowd over. Their performance has been electric, and the audience’s response overwhelmingly positive. The Sex Pistols couldn’t have picked a better band to open tonight’s show. The Molotovs have set the tone, leaving the crowd buzzing with excitement for what is to come.

The Molotovs’ show at Rock City has been a triumph. Their smart dress, engaging stage presence, and sharp, catchy tunes make for an unforgettable performance. As the opening act for Frank Carter and the Sex Pistols, they have proven they are up to the task, leaving a lasting impression on everyone in attendance.
