Make Up the Breakdown Maybe it's because they're from Canada
and don't know that music here in the U.S. is supposed to
suck, but Hot Hot Heat manages to put it all together like
no other band around. Mixing new wave, post-punk and danceable
beats, HHH defies categorization and somehow makes it hip
to dance again. Throw in a lead singer who sounds as if he's
had fourteen cups of coffee and a plug on a helium balloon
and you have amazing frenetic pop that all at once makes you
want to bang your head, shake your ass and play the air keyboard.
We can only hope that Americans quit treating our neighbors
to the North like the no-culture, neutralists that they are
and embrace this album for all the fun and artistry that it
embodies.
