You want shouty, shambolic and simply great punk-pop? Look no further than Manchester's Hotpants Romance - an all female three piece that tip the nod to Riot Grrrl and original 70s punk in equal measure. They're a heart on sleeve kinda band and the DIY spirit that they show off on their My Space songs bodes well for their just released debut LP 'It's A Heatwave' (I've just ordered it and I can not wait to get my hands on a copy). They've also got a video that was shot entirely on camera phone. If that's not punk, I don't know what is. Musically, I can hear a dash of Huggy Bear, a less refined Bis and Thee Headcoates straight ahead punk leanings. All in all a rather fine mess of noise. It seems all three members are not adverse to wearing Hotpants, either. A concept pop-punk band, no less.
The debut LP is available for £7 pounds plus 50p postage. All you have to do is message them on myspace and they'll send you instructions and total costs to paypal them.
And here's that Camera phone video:
