Their first full-length CD was Scenes One Through Thirteen (2001) which comprised all of the three prior EPs released to that point. Spring of 2002 saw the band releasing another EP entitled Knock Knock Knock. Also that same year the band entered the studio to record their second full length major label debut for Sub-Pop Records, entitled Make Up The Breakdown, which broke them into the greater consciousness of music culture. MUTBD grasped the attention of Sire Records and they moved to the major label. Shortly after the move, the band released their first music video, Bandages, which got air play on channels such as MTV. In 2005, the band released their second album, Elevator, on Sire Records. This was a critical time in the band’s history because Dante DeCaro (guitar) decided to leave the band. As one of the innovators of Hot Hot Heat’s sound, the band considered breaking up. Wanting to continue the band, Luke Paquin was to be DeCaro’s replacment. Although Elevator was recorded with DeCaro, Paquin is featured on the album art. In 2007, Hot Hot Heat released their third studio album, Happiness Ltd. to eager awaiting fans. The band decided to add new elements to their music, including an orchestra. “Vibe” is constantly used by the band to describe everything about the album. Hot Hot Heat is currently working on their latest studio album with producer/musician Ryan Dahle from Limblifter/Age of Electric which is expected to be finished in November 2008 with Parker Bossley from Fake Shark - Real Zombie! on bass. They are currently on tour opening for Bloc Party, and plan on releasing a new album in early 2010. |
