HOT WATER MUSIC Discography
Hot Water Music
Hot Water Music is a post-hardcore band from Gainesville, Florida. The members of the band are Chuck Ragan, Chris Wollard, Jason Black, and George Rebelo. HWM first formed in 1993. In 1996, after releasing two EPs and a full-length album, the band briefly disbanded, but soon reformed, announcing their continuation as Hot Water Music at the concert recorded for Live at the Hardback. In late 2005, Hot Water Music stated they were going on a hiatus following Chuck Ragan's departure to care for his family. On May 13, 2006 however, the hiatus became permanent and Hot Water Music officially disbanded. The three remaining members have started a new project, The Draft, whose first album, In a Million Pieces, was released on September 12, 2006. Chuck Ragan also continues with a more low-key music career, releasing material through No Idea Records and Side One Dummy Records. He is currently signed to the latter.
Hot Water Music's sound is characterised by the dual vocalists, improvised guitar playing and an extremely tight and complex rhythm section, and Jason Black and George Rebelo grew up playing jazz together. In the band's early records, Chuck would sing the majority of the songs with Chris doing backing vocals, and sometimes lead vocals. Later, the vocalists would perform in a duet fashion, which some would argue is their best work, whereas on the later records, Chris Wollard would handle most of the vocals, with Chuck doing backups and a share of his own songs. Ragan's voice is a deeper and raspier voice, whereas Wollard's is more high pitched and melodic, though both vocalists are very dynamic and can sing softer.
There are currently plans to release a collection of Hot Water Music work on No Idea records, titled Till the Wheels Fall Off and scheduled for January 22, 2008. It will be a CD release and will also be available on LP. According to Jason Black in an interview with Alternative Press, the compilation will feature "a song [called "Home"] that hasn't come out anywhere...it was one of two that didn't make it [onto The New What Next]."
The band's name was taken from the book by Charles Bukowski of the same name.
The band members have also participated in many side projects. The three most popular of these are Blacktop Cadence, Unitas and Rumbleseat.
Reunion - On October 22, 2007, music website Punknews.org reported that a reunion of the band is currently in the works.
Chuck Ragan has also stated that he looks forward to playing with Hot Water Music again sometime in the future.
The November issue of Alternative Press included an interview with bassist Jason Black in which he said that they are planning to reunite, but he "hates saying it out loud because we haven't confirmed a show yet." He thinks that "at this point...we'll be doing about six to eight shows... we're shooting for January or February.
In regard to what the setlist will consist of, Black said he "would like to put it up for online voting."
On November 5, Hot Water Music's official page, as well as their MySpace page, formally announced three shows in late January and early February. The announcement also stated that the official website will continue to be updated with news, as well as a collaborative discography of all their releases.
The band kicked off their reunion tour with a "secret show" at Common Grounds in their hometown of Gainesville, Florida on January 18, 2008 to be followed by shows in Orlando, Florida, Sayerville, New Jersey and two sold out shows in Chicago, Illinois.
They are slated to play the Groezrock festival in Meerhout, Belgium in May 2008.
