BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: The co-ed quartet played a rambunctious set of their decidely off-balance but amazing post-punk. Grade: 88 Comment:Hot Springs played a handful of songs even after they were asked to wrap it up. Can you blame 'em? They were just giving everybody what they wanted — more Hot Springs! The band threw down a crazed...

Hot Springs — Volcano

in
By Matt Reeder (CHARTattack) October 16, 2007 3:30 pm
It didn't take long for the title of Montreal up-and-comers Hot Springs' debut full-length to sink in once I threw it in my stereo. The record kicks into high gear straight out of the gate with the gritty pop punch of "Headrush" and the explosive cymbal-crashing ruckus of "Cellophane," and barely lets up until the end. Even...

Hot Springs @ NXNE 2007

By Evan Dickson (CHARTattack) June 9, 2007 12:30 pm
Background/Composition: Rock 'n' roll will never die as long as four-piece group The Hot Springs are around to give it blood. Grade: 78 Comment: The Hot Springs seem to get better every year. Frontwoman Giselle Webber's warbling voice sounded more confident and less like Bjork than at last year's festival. Add her expert rock...

Playing an exceedingly straight forward strand of indie rock that recalls a less arty Yeah Yeah Yeahs, this band is extremely...

Pop Montreal: Day One

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) October 2, 2008 12:15 pm
MONTREAL — For the uninitiated, Pop Montreal is a music festival unlike any other. Nearly every bar, club or available space along Saint Laurent Boulevard in downtown Montreal takes a respite from their usual schedule from Oct. 1 to 5 to house a variety of acts who've been deemed "the next big thing" by at least someone within the...
