Hot Hot Heat Get Elevated

added 04 May 2005 at 17.31

Canadian pop-punk scallywags Hot Hot Heat have delivered on every ounce of their early promise with seocnd album 'Elevator'. Hear them live in session and interview right here.

With their breakthrough single 'Bandages' suffocated by the Orwellian orgy of self-censorship immediately following 9/11 (even the most oblique reference to physical injury being a no-no) Hot Hot Heat very nearly sank without trace before they could enjoy surfing the wave of guitar popularity they helped set in motion.

Now, with former tour mates Franz Ferdinand and The Killers eagerly ploughing their jerky, melodic guitar pop furrow and the superb second album 'Elevator' poised to take another important step in eradicating the legacy of Bryan Adams from Canada's cultural record, Hot Hot Heat hit Music: Response to talk to Ian Camfield about writing on the road, the joys of touring a ten song record and opening the door for modern guitar pop [listen] .

Hot Hot Heat 'Goodnight Goodnight' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Current single and a worthy sucessor to 'Bandages'. Barring some kind of national Night Nurse-related tragedy should escape similar censorship.

Hot Hot Heat 'Middle of Nowhere' [Dial-Up] [Broadband]
Rollocks along into a smooth, easygoing chorus about escaping whichever brand of shit is currently getting you down.

Hot Hot Heat 'Running Out Of Time'  [Dial-Up] [Broadband] Exclusive Online Track!
A classic, staccato party track showcasing Steve Bays' trademark vocal yelp and his band's jerky, jangling riffage.
