Heat

The sound of Heat is all at once fresh and familiar. Equally calling to mind the 1970s proto-punk of New York City and the sprawling psychedelia of 90s UK shoegaze, it’s a sound that is infused with youthful attitude and is altogether self-assured at it’s core. A call to arms to the tune of weaving guitars and baritone crooning, this Montreal 4-piece have been turning heads and catching ears worldwide. The future seems full of limitless potential.

Fresh off the heels off a stellar year; which saw their self-titled EP and captivating live shows garner praise from the likes of the Guardian, NME, Q Magazine, and Noisey, Heat prepare for a whirlwind 2015. On the horizon: the release of a recently recorded 7-inch, tours of North America and Europe and the recording of their first LP. This is a band to watch, music to listen to, and a powerhouse in the making.

« then pairing it up with some jangling shoegazing pop and a bit of Gallagher-esque brawn, this Montreal band were very impressive. » – Q Magazine

« Heat we’re actually really tight, both in the sense that they worked well together as a band and in the sense that they were cool. » – Noisey

« They’re also pretty handy when it comes to Lou Reed-style vocal slurs and nagging melodies, marking them out as one of 2014’s most promising new bands in my book. » – NME Magazine
