Hot Snakes

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Hot Snakes consist of guitarist/vocalists John Reis and Rick Froberg, drummer Jason Kourkounis, and bassist Gar Wood. Reis is better known as Speedo, the vocalist for Rocket from the Crypt, but he'd also played in the acclaimed Drive Like Jehu with Froberg, who for his part had gone by the handles Rick Farr and Eric Froberg. Meanwhile, drummer Kourkounis had been affiliated with the Delta 72, but he may or may not have changed his name to J Sinclair for the new group. Confused?

Hot Snakes' much-anticipated second album, "Suicide Invoice," matches the intensity of their debut while surpassing it in every other respect. Recorded by the band themselves, the sound is a collision of wailing downstrokes and booming, sinister, drone.

The Swami ordered, "Make me/it harder and make it better...yeah, and keep it perky," and so be it. Hot Snakes are diligent punk slaves and went to work mining acid blues and pumped-up indigenous beats.

Mario Rubalcaba joins on drums and adds a feverish propulsion to the molten murk. No squids allowed!

Sympathy/Swami's second release consists of John Reis (ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, DRIVE LIKE JEHU) on guitars and organs, Rick Fork (DRIVE LIKE JEHU) on vocals and Jason Kourkounis (DELTA 72, MULE) on the drum kit. The result is a sinister, dense, and turbulent sound that surpasses the sum of its parts.

LAST PEEL SESSIONS EVER! On their first trip to the UK, Hot Snakes were asked by legendary disc jockey John Peel to come into the BBC studios at Maida Vale and record a session for his radio show. The band went in on Oct. 11 2004 and cut four songs live. The sound that was captured is a realistic snapshot of the Hot Snakes sound with rougher edges and spontaneous energy. Hot Snakes were to be his last guests, as John Peel died on a vacation in Peru a week later. The legacy of John Peel expands from the '60s   [ read more ]
