Wax Heads remixes punk rock with cosy vibes to brilliant effect


Can cosy and punk co-exist in the same game? Eurogamer finds out by playing the Steam Next Fest demo for Wax Heads.

A nervous man covered in piercings might not want that Heavy Metal track you think he would be into if you look at the flyer sticking out of his back pocket, for example, while a teenager might not sound like she's ready for Sister's latest experimental songs just yet - so why not give her their tamer debut album instead?
