Born in the Adelaide hardcore scene in 2004, but raised – like all good Aussie bands
– on the highways between gigs, The Hot Lies have toured with every big name in punk
rock, from Millencolin to My Chemical Romance, and they’ll add Good Charlotte
and Sum 41 to that list before the year is out. They’ve played Taste of Chaos alongside
The Used, Big Day Out alongside The White Stripes, Live N Local alongside The
Veronicas.
Their first release, the 2004 EP Streets Become Hallways, was picked up by JJJ. Their
follow up EP, 2005’s Heart Attacks and Callous Acts, spawned the hits Promise Me and
Tell Me Goodnight, and saw Rolling Stone declare the band one to watch. As screamo,
post-punk, whatever you want to call it, has seeped into the suburbs, no Australian act
has pushed it further than The Hot Lies – 10,000 of those converts own a copy of Heart
Attacks and Callous Acts.
