100 percent hot water music It's hard to believe that it's been five years since Hot Water Music released their last studio album »Exister«. So it's all the nicer that the long-awaited successor will be released in 2017. »Light It Up« is an album on their own. Because this time Chuck Ragan and his men have recorded all twelve songs completely themselves. The last time the Gainesville punks chose this approach was 20 years ago with »Fuel For The Hate Game«. The result is a 100 percent hot water music record. The band already revealed what it sounds like in May with the first single »Never Going Back«, an unagitated and positive punk rock song, guitar-heavy and melody-loving and, of course, with Ragan's unmistakable raspy voice. Hot Water Music in their element. »Light It Up« is the name of the next stroke of genius of the post-hardcore punk icons.
