Hot Water Music
The New What Next
(Epitath)

A bunch of ardent Florida born punks who have seen more changes than the Manchester United line up for the replay against lowly Exeter City, proudly parade some of their most abrasive and intense offerings. The heart on sleeve punk realism that is encapsulated by singers/guitarists Chuck Ragan and Chris Woollard, occasionally bubbles over into rage. They voice their indignation at a range of subjects, most noticeably timewasters in ‘Under Everything”.

‘The New What Next’ serves the multiple purpose of reminding us of the potency and passion ofthe candidquartet that has sparked a renaissance in this genre, having clearly influenced the likes of Thrice and Vaux.Also, the combination of rhythm and cutting cogency displayed in ‘The Ebb and Flow’ shows the band’s growing stature and the timeless nature of their work.
