You may have read it here, here, or even gotten the real deal here, but Hot Water Music has officially called it a day. We all saw it coming but it still makes me a little sad. Chris, George, and Jason have continued on as The Draft and are planning to release a full length on Epitaph Records. The odd man out (seemingly) is Chuck, but he is happily focused on his family but is also planning to continue writing and recording his solo music.
Hot Water Music means (and has meant) a lot to a lot of people (my wife and I included). The band is much more than just another emo or melodic hardcore band. Their music is intense, powerful, and moving. With six proper albums, an EP collection, a live album, and tons of miscellaneous tracks the band has certainly left its mark. There are also plans for No Idea Records to release another odds and ends compilation from the band later this year.
Here are a few of my favorite HWM songs. Listen and remember.
MP3 | Hot Water Music - Alachua Never Ender
MP3 | Hot Water Music - Floor Finding The Rhythms
MP3 | Hot Water Music - Just Don't Say You Lost It Forever & Counting
MP3 | Hot Water Music - It's Hard To Know No Division
MP3 | Hot Water Music - Turnstile Fuel For The Hate Game
MP3 | Hot Water Music - Remedy Caution
MP3 | Hot Water Music - Ink & Lead The New What Next

I believe the forthcoming HWM compilation will feature a DVD of a full live set. This is gonna be great. BTW, I believe their Turbonegro cover will be on this one.
