Hot Water Music

Hot Water Music established their influential sound with the release of two LPs, ‘Fuel for the Hate Game’ and ‘Forever and Counting,’ in 1997. Following a period of rigorous touring, the band reunited in October 1998 to continue their musical journey. The group built a strong foundation through consistent releases and performances that solidified their presence in the punk rock scene, quickly gaining recognition for their powerful live shows and distinctive songwriting. After their reformation, Hot Water Music signed with Epitaph Records, marking a significant step in their career.

In 2011, Hot Water Music signed a new record deal with Rise Records, leading to the release of their album ‘Exister’ in 2012. They continued their prolific output with ‘Light It Up’ in 2017. Following this release, Chris Wollard took a break, and Chris Cresswell of The Flatliners joined the band, first as a touring member and later becoming a permanent fixture, contributing to their evolving sound. In 2021, the band partnered with Equal Vision Records, under which they released ‘Feel The Void’ in 2022, marking their first album featuring Cresswell as a permanent member and receiving positive reception from critics and fans.

Further solidifying their enduring legacy, Hot Water Music released their tenth studio album, ‘Vows,’ in May 2024. This latest offering continues to showcase the band’s evolution and consistent contribution to the punk rock genre, demonstrating their sustained creativity and relevance over three decades. Hot Water Music remains a consistent and influential force within the alternative music scene, continuing to tour and create new music that resonates with their dedicated fanbase and new listeners alike.
