Start growing your beard, Hot Water Music devotees. The band has confirmed two gigs on the East Coast this summer. One on July 11th at the Troc in Philly and the other the next day at the insanely-too-large Terminal 5.

I am running late for the blogosphere doing a SXSW post now, but I figured better late then never. This may come as a big suprise, but my favorite show of the festival was Hot Water Music who as always put on a damn fine show. Check after the jump for some of my other highlights from the festival including Man Man, Matt & Kim, She & Him, This Will Destroy You, Okkervil River, The Gaslight Anthem, Be Your Own Pet and more.
It’s Super Tuesday, so we hope you got out to the booths today and voted. For now, here’s a few short reviews of some records we’ve been rocking at LNWF HQ. Expect a review of the new Loved Ones record Build and Burn either today or tomorrow, along with a few more short review blurbs.
Teenage Bottlerocket – Warning Device (Red Scare)
There are two kinds of people in this world: A) Pop punk soldiers who listen to a Descendents record once, if not every other, day and B) people who think pop punk is corny and for 15 year olds. They usually follow this statement by saying they’d rather listen to some snobby, popular-for-a-hot-minute hipster douchebag product. I’m more of a type A character if you haven’t figured that out. If you are as well, I recommend you check out the new Teenage Bottlerocket album. Oozing with well-crafted pop punk gems about the usual topics, this is Ramones-core at it’s absolute best. -Matt Pullman
Black Mountain – In The Future (Jagjaguwar)
Shit, Black Mountain must have perfected time travel. With In The Future, it sounds like they hopped in the Delorean, stole Tony Iommi’s bad-ass riffs and Pink Floyd’s best drugs and proceeded to create a rock opus that seamlessly flows through extreme highs and lows, but always remains engaging. – Bill Shouldis
Hot Water Music – Till The Wheels Fall Off (No Idea)
HWM’s new collection of b-sides and rarities is what Neverender was suppose to be. From their perfect cover of Leatherface’s “Springtime,” one of my personal favorites from the Alkaline Trio split “God Deciding,” to their terrible Clash cover “Clampdown,” it’s all here and all represented properly. Also, I really think there’s a scam going on with all those people paying $300-400 for the tour edition vinyl. Don’t be an idiot. – Matt Pullman

After months of tense anticipation, the almighty Hot Water Music returned from a three-year hibernation to blow the capacity crowd away at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on Friday night. I’ve ranted before about how I loathe when bands do reunion shows, but with HWM it’s different. Besides, the band never denied they would share a stage together in the future. Plus, anyone that knows me, knows my undying love I have for these dudes so I would never question another chance to see them.
