Helmed by Richard, whose past includes stints with The Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Duke Spirit, and even a technical footnote with Nine Inch Nails, this latest project reads like a diary scorched at the edges. “This is what happens after ten bands, five heartbreaks, and a few too many breakdowns,” he explains.
“It’s me trying to make sense of ruin — personal, professional, and otherwise — through a warped lens of 60s pop sunshine.”
Produced in Brighton by Jamie Hall (Tigercub), 'Not Hot' is drenched in irony and emotional grit. Hall describes the sound as “like The Shangri-Las if they’d lived through the worst parts of a Nick Cave song", a comparison that feels apt for a band that thrives on both drama and dissonance.
