Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (1999 – present)
Hot Hot Heat are an indie-rock band from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. They formed in 1999 as a synthpunk band with Matt Marnik, who eventually left the band, on lead vocals. Steve Bays (vocals and keyboards) took over lead vocals, significantly changing the band’s sound. The rest of the band is currently composed of Paul Hawley (drums), Dustin Hawthorne (bass), and Luke Paquin (guitar). Paquin has recently replaced former guitarist, Dante DeCaro. The band’s name was contrived by drummer Paul Hawley.
Their first full-length CD was Scenes One Through Thirteen (2001) which comprised all of the three prior EPs released to that point. Spring of 2002 saw the band releasing another EP entitled Knock Knock Knock. Also that same year the band entered the studio to record their second full length major label debut for Sub-Pop Records, entitled Make Up The Breakdown, which broke them into the greater consciousness of music culture. MUTBD grasped the attention of Sire Records and they moved to the major label. Shortly after the move, the band released their first music video, Bandages, which got air play on channels such as MTV.
In 2005, the band released their second album, Elevator, on Sire Records. This was a critical time in the band’s history because Dante DeCaro (guitar) decided to leave the band. As one of the innovators of Hot Hot Heat’s sound, the band considered breaking up. Wanting to continue the band, Luke Paquin was to be DeCaro’s replacment. Although Elevator was recorded with DeCaro, Paquin is featured on the album art.

I agree about JFK's LSD being the better of the two. Also, lolipot, they put up two songs for download on their site. Dunno if they'll be singles or not.

The new songs aren't really that weird,just different for them. JFK's LSD is the better of the two. I know they'll never go back to sounding like Scenes One Through Thirteen ever again,but I'll never stop wishing...

The two new tracks are weird as fuck. It'll take a little getting used to, but it sounds like it could be more toward the Knock Knock Knock & Make Up the Breakdown albums.
