With Silk Sonic scooping the Grammys, its clear music lovers have a taste for classic funk and soul. If tasty horns, a tight rhythm section, and soulful vocals are your idea of heaven, you’re going to love what Gold Coast outfit Heavy Wax serve up. One listen to “Can’t Shake the Thought of You” and you’ll be hooked too.
“It’s about the rush of feeling a connection with a new person for the first time and the excitement of what’s to come,” explained lead vocalist Quin Samin. “Where did it come from? Well, we’ve all felt it, so hopefully it resonates with the listener.”
“Can’t Shake the Thought of You” comes from Heavy Wax’s self-titled debut album, which drops on May 6. These guys are fast developing a reputation as one of Queensland’s hottest live acts. You can see what all the fuss is about at one of their upcoming shows:
7 May 2022 – Roots Festival @ Home of the Arts, Gold Coast
11 June 2022 – Melting Sunsets @ Kingston Butter Factory Cultural Precinct, Kingston
