Editors Top Hot Hot Heat And Louis XIV

in
By Natalia Manzocco (CHARTattack) January 23, 2008 4:30 pm
I'll admit it: I haven't been properly keeping up on my NME. A relative newcomer to the Editors party, I hadn't quite grasped how big the Birmingham, U.K. quartet had become since the release of 2005's The Back Room. Yet here they were on a North American tour, taking a headlining spot over tourmates Hot Hot Heat and packing the cavernous Kool...

Hot Hot Heat — Happiness Ltd.

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) September 11, 2007 1:32 pm
I really want to like this record, but the only thing it's doing right now is making me want to pull my hair out, strand by excruciating strand. I wish I could get past Steve Bays' overwrought and melodramatic intonation, and I want to ignore the over-inflated and grandiose sound they seem so fond of this time out. But the bulbous "Let Me In...

Rain Can't Wash Edgefest Away

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) July 4, 2006 4:30 pm
This year marks the 20th anniversary of Edgefest. The festival has gone through many permutations over the years, but in the end, it still serves as a great way of bringing music to the masses. I don't visit the Amphitheatre often, so every time I come back it takes a little while to get used to the lay of the land. After wandering by the...

Hot Hot Heat — Elevator

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) April 5, 2005 2:49 pm
Elevator, Hot Hot Heat’s latest, is a hooky distortion drenched dance party that turns their Make Up The Breakdown formula into more gold. The opening track, "Running Out Of Time," is louder, catchier and a hell of a lot more fun than Make Up’s lead track and Elevator’s favourable comparisons don’t end there. As usual, Hot Hot Heat’s...

Hot Hot Heat — Make Up The Breakdown

in
By Kate Guay (CHARTattack) October 8, 2002 2:14 pm
Hot Hot Heat is a band that won’t be able to avoid the all-too-easy comparisons to The Strokes and critiques of their place in the current garage rock explosion. The genius of Make Up The Breakdown, the first LP from the Victoria quartet, is that it lives up to — and far surpasses — the hype. It takes the template of their first Sub Pop EP, the...

Fucked Up recently performed David Comes To Life's "Queen Of Hearts" with Cults' Madeline Follin at Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party. It was the first time they'd ever done the song properly live, since Follin appears on the studio version of the tune, but hasn't appeared on stage with the band to do it live yet. Morrissey apparently...

Video Of The Day: Hot Hot Heat's "No Applause Allowed"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) May 3, 2011 4:21 pm
Steve Bays' face can't stop bleeding at the beginning of Hot Hot Heat's video for "No Applause Allowed." At first, it's just an annoyance, getting in the way of cooking breakfast. But it becomes much more serious when he's out shopping for records. And by the time he arrives at a club, he's discovered that somehow, his heart's been torn out....

Background/ Composition: These guys are four Victoria, B.C. boys I'd say you could fairly call pop rock due to their commercial success writing poppy rock songs. Grade: 90 Comment: You'd expect high marks for a band like Hot Hot Heat, and they earned 'em. Granted, The Mod Club is a great venue when it comes to light shows (and they took full...

In a welcome return and an homage to the gritty leads that solidified their sound back in 2003, Hot Hot Heat's fourth studio album Future Breeds is a loud reintroduction into the world of noteworthy Canadian rock 'n' roll.   It's their magnum opus of sorts and first release off Dine Alone Records. It took over two years to create, and...
