Hot Seconds are a Brooklyn-based indie rock outfit formed in 2007. Citing a wide array of brit-pop/rock influences, the band melds the urgency of The Clash, the aural grandeur of Spiritualized and the raw immediacy of Primal Scream, tied together with "a love of all things Manchester."
UK-born singer/songwriter James Love and composer/producer Eran Westwood (Front 242 and NYC band Spill) became acquainted through a chance meeting and, in discovering "a mutual passion for Brit pre/post-punk/rock," set out to work on an EP.
After the project turned out better than either man had expected, the duo decided to put a full band together in order to translate their songs live. Enter Riley Sumala on drums, veteran NYC bassist Bob Troia (Astronaut, Superjuice) and jack-of-all-trades Marcel Simoneau, and Hot Seconds was born.
The self-titled album is chock-full of the sounds of their British influences, and features a welcome sense of humor about the current rock scene. Check out Went To India , a great song itself but especially notable for its punchlines ("I live in Scarsdale / But I say Lower East Side").
