HK will be playing tonight around 11pm.

294 Bathurst, Toronto

Check out the first installment in our summer 2012 EP series here – http://hotkid.bandcamp.com/

“Stripped of all things pretentious, it is nothing but unadulterated pure garage rock at its finest. There is also just something about Harrison’s fuzzed out yet fierce vocals that just makes them irresistible.”

“First track “Blind To It” is like a jacked-up Ting Tings, containing enough hooks to sing along to, but living up to the rock-heavy emotionality the band is known for. The duo strips itself down significantly for the rest of the album, showcasing their evolving songwriting abilities. “One More (C’mon C’mon)” pairs a steady White-Stripes drumbeat with muted vocals and beefy guitar licks. Title track “Courage to Fight” is the strongest track on the album, an anthemic, fist-pumping go-getter reminiscent of Muse’s politically-infused “Uprising”. The EP rounds out with “Begin Again”, which displays a lighter side to the band, preparing its listeners for those heated and lazy days of summer through its casual vocals and simple melody.”

“Courage To Fight (…) sees Shiloh Harrison & Rob Butcher III jacking up the vocal reverb to 11 and pushing things in a much more mature direction. Opening track “Blind To It” definitely still shows the raw emotion off previous efforts, but tracks “One More (C’mon C’mon)” and the titular “Courage To Fight” strip things back a bit on the in-your-face distortion front to allow a glimpse into a more structured songwriting style that screams for you to sing along – and to rock your convulsing body ragged…”
