Band: HoT To Rot (Melbourne, Australia)

Who: A thrilling trio “driven by Loretta Wilde’s unconventional and inimitable bass riffs,
Blaise Adamson’s shredding guitar and theatrical vocals, and drummer, Jack Normoyle
who never settles for the obvious beat, rhythm or fill.” Legend goes they met at a support group for doomsday enthusiasts. Together they vowed to raise enough money to install
a grade A survival bunker.

Pick: OXYTOCIN – new single from their self-titled debut EP

Score: I just love this kind of wayward, mental and wholly kooky sort of post-punk frenzy, when instruments sound as if they were never tuned yet resonate blood-tinglingly spot on! On hearing HoT To RoT ‘s new turbulent single Oxytocin for the first time late 70s English misfits Delta 5 and Gang Of Four having a brisk jam with today’s American jingle jangle noisemakers Parquet Courts came to mind. This Australian 3-piece jumps from freaky
to poppy, from creepy to dancey and back in a dumbfounded way. This is startling stuff that will impress your greedy ears and will prickle your whole body. Jump on your bike
and join them right here…
