The Hot Melts - (I Wish I Had Never) Been In Love
Release date: 20th October 2008 (Epitaph)
Fresh meat on the rock star radar - are The Hot Melts, a sizzling, power pop foursome, from The Wirral; Liverpool. With influences ranging from Weezer to Eddie Cochran and Happy Days 50’s rock ‘n’ roll, bubblegum nostalgia, the Melts debut single“(I Wish I Had Never) Been In Love” captures the quartets’ unique, raw diversity, and is due for release on the 20th October through Epitaph records brand new joint venture with Wonderland.
Will Baylis- singer/songwriter, Jack Prince- drums, Johnny Green- guitar, Jamie Otsa- Bassist mix the best sounds of both sides of the Atlantic; with the US typical big, hard-riffin’ sound and punchy Liverpudlian skullduggery.
Singer and songwriter of The Hot Melts - Will tries to sum up the band by comparing them to film; “If we were a film, I’d say The Hot Melts would be The Royal Tenenbaums. I love Wes Anderson films. They’re hilariously funny, but also massively, soul-destroyingly depressing”
So far the Melts have cut their teeth touring with The Pigeon Detectives, The Hold Steady and Albert Hammond jr, as well as appearing at this year’s 02 Wireless Festival.
