Le Guess Who?

Hot Snakes

In the early 2000s, Hot Snakes rose to combine Rocket From The Crypt’s walloping garage rock anthems and Drive Like Jehu’s feverish post-hardcore stabs. With aforementioned bands reuniting at some point, John Reis and fellow guitar firebrand Rick Froberg remained close-knit throughout Hot Snakes’ absence. As a result, new album ‘Jericho Sirens’ is a decade-spanning return that sounds as vital as ever. In fact, Hot Snakes’ ability to party and rage on equal terms feels more cathartic than ever in these polarizing times.
