PENGSHUi - 10 Years Of Hot Box

Pengshui are a genre-smashing trio blending punk energy, grime attitude, andearth-shaking bass.

Since their explosive 2018 debut, they’ve lit up stages from Download and Bloodstock to Glastonbury and Boomtown, dropped three fierce albums, and even caught the attention of The Prodigy for official remixes. Fronted by Illaman (Dave Penning), a former member of hip-hop collective Problem Child and an MC for the likes of Foreign Beggars, Goldie, Flux Pavilion and Chinese Man, and anchored by renowned bassist Fatty Bassman (Chris Hargreaves), co-founder of Submotion Orchestra and pioneering force in live electronic bass,they’re ready to tear down whatever’s in their path.

Now, with the release of their third studio album GUTS (2025), Pengshui kick the doors open on their biggest and boldest chapter yet. Raw, heavy, and unapologetically direct, GUTS cements their status as one of the most fearless acts tearing through the UK heavy music scene.

Brace yourself — this isn’t just a band. It’s a movement.
