Let me provide you with a band that needs to be reintroduced: Hot Hot Heat. New album, Future Breeds, proves the band is back with a vengeance. Be forewarned, however; these guys are not for everyone. But if you do like to give different genres a chance, then I’m pretty sure that you’ll sweat from the heat.

It’s been awhile since the boys have released some jams, but the wait was well worth it. This record has strayed form conventional pop, and made a trip back to the roots of what made the group great; volatile music. One of Canada’s leading alternative rock bands have yet to achieve much in the way of chart success, but most good music does not. They make wild sounds, labeling their songs with extreme names, and their music is new wave dance-punk indie rock post-punk revival.

Future Breeds is the sound of a band that is completely free of restraint, as Hot Hot Heat offers fresh track after fresh track and never lets a square song structure get in their way. Each song is so damn catchy, especially Implosionatic and Times A Thousand. The record offers an audacious and refreshing collection of tracks that spotlight the band’s unique sound and particular talent of creating radiantly blemished music.

If you’re in a blah mood, their music will change all that. If you’re standing still, this will force you to move. If you’re not used to stepping out of the box on your playlist, this will certainly mix that up. Opt for a change! After all, it’s summertime and we all are bound to get burned from the Hot Hot Heat.
