As the anticipation ramps up for the May 15, 2012 release
of HOT WATER MUSIC's first album in eight years, EXISTER,
media juggernaut Huffington Post has exclusively posted "State
of Grace", the first single from the album. To listen to the track,
find it here:http://huff.to/I5noUC. The second track unveiled from the
album (RollingStone.composted album track "Drag My Body" on March 28th), "State
of Grace" is what bassistJason Black describes as
“three chords and the truth,” showcasing the band’s ability to successfully
balance their formative punk-rock grit with an engagingly catchy melody.In celebrating the release of Exister, the band will be playing a handful of record release shows in NYC, Philadelphia, and SoCal as well as festivals such as Monster Bash(Berlin, Germany), Groezrock (Meerhout, Belgium), and The Bamboozle (Asbury Park, NJ). A full tour will be announced at a later time (confirmed tour dates below).
Recorded this past January at the Blasting Room in
Fort Collins, CO with Descendents' Bill Stevenson(Bouncing
Souls, Rise Against, NOFX) in the producer's chair, Exister isn't
the sound of a band greasing their wheels but a band revved up and raring to
go. "Recording the album was amazing... better than any of us
expected, for sure," Jason says. "It seems like the time off, coupled
with everything we've all learned doing other projects and honing our
respective crafts during that time, really worked in our favor and enabled us
to have a basically unending flow of ideas and creative sparks."
Hot Water Music first formed in 1993 in Gainesville, FL and
quickly rose to the top of the post-hardcore punk scene. After releasing seven
studio albums, two compilations, one live album and countless numbers of
7"s, EPs and splits, the band took an indefinite hiatus in 2005 but
reunited in 2008 and have been playing numerous festivals, quick tour runs, and
one-off shows ever since.
Hot Water Music is Chuck Ragan (vocals,
guitar), Chris Wollard (vocals, guitar), Jason
Black(bass), and George Rebelo (drums). Exister was
produced by Bill Stevenson and will be released on May
15, 2012 on Rise Records.
