Since late 2009 the band have spent little time establishing themselves on the national scene. Their first few months were spent locked away moulding their sound into something that best reflected the message and ethos that they felt their music portrayed. After experimenting with everything from easy-core to post-rock, they’ve finally found themselves nestled into a niche that made punk-rock-household names of Transit, Basement and Man Overboard whilst still retaining a gutsy street-folk streak dear to artists like Dave Hause and Vinnie Caruana.
“I see this new record as being a huge step in the right direction for the band” says frontman Chris Evans “When we recorded ‘This Weather...’ we sort of rushed into recording it and putting it out. I'm very happy with how it turned out but I feel it didn't really get the exposure we would have hoped for, whereas with Sleep Alone we gave ourselves heaps of time whilst writing and waiting to release it to make sure we had everything in place. I think that has reflected on the music for this record a lot.”
Just a few years and 3 EPs into their career Hot Damn have already found themselves thrust onto tours with Swedish punks Tag Your Target, Alabama heavyweights Carridale and shared stages with industry giants like With The Punches, Basement and The Wonder Years. With the buzz of anticipation for ‘Sleep Alone’ slowly growing on the underground scene, it might not be too long before Hot Damn find themselves flying the flag for their native Wales on a national and international level.
Upcoming UK Tour Dates (more May Dates TBC):
