Legendary punk rock veterans Hot Water Music have recently unveiled two electrifying singles, "Remnants" featuring Brendan Yates and Daniel Fang of Turnstile, and "Fences" featuring Thrice. These tracks, streaming now on all platforms, offer a glimpse into the band's forthcoming LP, "Vows," set for release on May 10 via Equal Vision Records.
With a lineup boasting members of Turnstile, Thrice, City and Colour, Alexisonfire, The Interrupters, and Calling Hours, "Vows" promises to be a compelling testament to Hot Water Music's enduring influence on the punk scene. Produced by Brian McTernan, known for his work on the band's classic early 2000s albums, the record blends raw power with seasoned craftsmanship, delivering a melodic journey that captures the essence of their iconic sound.
The band's 30th-anniversary North American headline tour, kicking off on May 3, will feature support from Quicksand, Tim Barry, and more across 30 cities, culminating in a finale at Vancouver's Commodore Ballroom on June 29.
Reflecting on their three-decade journey, Hot Water Music remains committed to authenticity, camaraderie, and artistic integrity. Rather than dwelling on the past, they approach this milestone with an eye toward innovation, pushing their musical boundaries while staying true to their punk roots.
Vows is more than just an album; it's a celebration of resilience and creativity, a testament to the band's unwavering dedication to their craft. As they embark on this landmark tour, Hot Water Music invites fans old and new to join them in honoring the past, embracing the present, and anticipating the journey ahead.
