Hotpants Romance - It's A Heatwave

A few weeks ago I raved about this great three piece and I duly bought the LP. It's now arrived and has become something of an instant favourite around these parts. Hotpants Romance are simply wonderful. The twelve songs that make up 'It's A Heatwave' clock in at just over 17 minutes it doesn't out stay it's welcome. Choruses crash in and out before you have a chance to draw breath. The essence of punk and indiepop collide to make this a great little LP. And that essence is fun, catchy songs and a wee dash of shouting. I really can't think of anything better. Title song 'Heatwave' is thankfully not a cover of the Northern Soul original - this is more about suntan lotions and three girls losing their heads in the heat - clocking in at 55 seconds - it doesn't mess around and it still manages to get me all excited. Songs like 'Effin & Jeffin' and 'Shake' kick in with the old school rock'n'roll punk vibe.
It might be blowing a gale outside but with Hotpants Romance it's time for a Heatwave. Come get burnt.
