Description
Things have been heating up for the Davis-bred indie quartet Hot Flash Heat Wave. With an Outside Lands performance on the horizon and a SXSW set in the books, the San Francisco-based band are poised to make waves. Their mix of jangly guitars, reverb-drenched vocal hooks and synth-tinged glam sensibilities sound like something MGMT, The Beach Boys and Wavves might cook up at a particularly foggy jam sesh. Last summer they released their latest full-length, Soaked on Oakland-based OIM Records. Album highlight "Blue" sports an undeniable vocal melody and some of the tightest songwriting in the band's discography.
