IT isn't often you hear a song from a demo CD blaring across the national radio but The Hot Lies' song Bullets and Blacklines didn't stay quiet for long...
Quite accidentally, the tune began to circulate. However, it was never meant for outside ears. In early 2004 the song was recorded for their label; Sydney based Resist Records as a sample of things to come. Somehow it turned up on Triple J's Short Fast Loud program.
It was just the beginning….
Within 2 weeks the track was on regular rotation, screaming across the primetime airwaves.
To back it up, The Hot Lies recorded their debut EP 'Streets Become Hallways' in July 2004 (Due for release Aug. 16th 2004 on Resist Records). The new songs maintain the vibe and national interest the band attracted with the track Bullets and Blacklines lacing the passion of hardcore-punk with hooks and strong melodies. The EP is full of melodic rock, erupting with power in all the right places.
The release comes amidst a hectic national touring schedule for The Hot Lies. After just 5 shows in and around Adelaide, fine tuning the bands live show and road testing the new material to local audiences the band hit the road for a national tour supporting US act Pilot To Gunner. This was quickly followed by dates with LA rockers The Bronx and also dates with Pacifier, Somerset (NZ) & Gyroscope, all within six months of the bands first show.
No strangers to touring and working big stages, The Hot Lies was born from the ashes of hardcore rock act The Killchoir Project with three former members of The Killchoir Project forming the band. Peter Wood (Vocals) Benjamin Pix (Guitar) & Jared Brown (Drums). Ex I Killed the Prom Queen bass player Leaton Rose and Josh Delsar, ex Day Of Contempt guitarist completed The Hot Lies lineup which has now got people talking and heads turning within the underground music scene around the country.
Collectively, The Hot Lies are as much influenced by Foo Fighters or At the Drive-in as they are by the modern punk sounds of AFI or Thursday. Their sound is melodic but real enough to scream with emotion and energy.
