Hot Snakes.



First, an apology and an excuse. No on reads this, I'm sure. However, if you happen to stumble across it, sorry there's only like four things up. I started school, plus working full-time, so I'm busy. This fell to the way side. I'm going to try and keep it going because I like it.

Anyway, two albums today. Both by Hot Snakes. Not THE Hot Snakes, just Hot Snakes.

Who the fuck are Hot Snakes? John Reis and Rick Froberg. John, you might have heard mentioned on this page before. Rick, not so much. They two started making music in a band called Pitchfork back in the day. They dismiss the music they made in that period. They went their separate ways, John to Rocket and Rick to... art? He does paintings and shit.

They reconvened for Drive Like Jehu, a legendary, mythological noise punk band often cited as an early emo influence. And man, they kicked some fucking ass. They broke up. Songs were getting too long and too complicated, and Rocket was blowing up, so they split after two albums.

Years later, Rocket's time in the spotlight passed, John and Rick started making music again. And, it was INTENSE. All of the fury of Drive Like Jehu in short, three or four minute bursts. Froberg's vocals seeth and Reis' guitar snarls and the two form an unholy alliance to kick the shit out of punk rock.

Sadly, no one paid attention. Three albums, a Peel session EP and a live album are the only record left of this amazing band. Get the first, Automatic Midnight and the last, the live Thunder Down Under in the comments section.
