"With their rugged blend of punk, emo, and post-hardcore, Hot Water Music had established themselves as a force to be reckoned with as far back as their 1997 debut album Fuel for the Hate Game. At first they had a loose, spindly sound, but they started to tighten things up on 2001's A Flight and a Crash (their first for Epitaph and first with producer Brian McTernan) and then they fully streamlined things with the following year's Caution (also on Epitaph and with Brian)."
"All eras of Hot Water Music are good in their own ways, but there's a reason that Caution (which the band played in full in 2019 on their 25th anniversary tour) remains a favorite for so many fans. This is the album where they had bottled up all the great ideas they'd had previously, and spit them back out into the most focused batch of songs they've ever released."
A new limited-edition "frosted coke bottle" vinyl pressing of Hot Water Music's 2002 album Caution is available for pre-order, limited to 300 copies through the BV shop. Caution streamlined the band's evolving sound, following tighter work on 2001's A Flight and a Crash and produced by Brian McTernan on Epitaph. The album features energetic, hook-driven songs including the opening pair "Remedy" and "Trusty Chords," and the band performed the album in full during their 2019 25th anniversary tour. The album remains urgent and crowd-rousing, and Hot Water Music have upcoming European shows with Dropkick Murphys and Terror.
