Inspired by both rock’s raw power and the bold experimentalism of artists like PJ Harvey and Björk, Hot Stamp’s aesthetic is as daring as their sound. Their visual identity draws on surreal and adventurous influences—from the cinematic vibes of cult classics like The Neon Demon, The Doom Generation, and Dark Shadows, to nods to Goldfrapp, David Lynch, and even the fearless female gunslingers of the 1800s.
From a young age, Jasmine and Poppy knew that making music was their destiny. Tinkering on their dad’s computer at the age of seven and diving into crash courses in Logic, they began honing a craft that would later burst onto the scene with dangerous, genre-blurring pop.

The sisters’ passion for music was evident even in their early days, when they would text Nick Grimshaw on BBC Radio 1 as they headed to school, occasionally ending up live on air. They were regulars on Scott Mills’ ‘Going Home’ song feature in the afternoons, their fearless confidence evident at a young age.
Now they are readying the release of their debut single, one that will show Hot Stamp are not just a band; they’re a modern musical phenomenon—ever-evolving, boundary-pushing, and ready to redefine what pop can be.
