Hot Hot Heat hail from Victoria, B.C., a town best known for imitating the queen's England in the service of tourism. But never fear: the high teas and manicured gardens are all well and good, this band knows that bad manners are what rock is all about. Case in point, the song "Goodnight Goodnight," in which a former girlfriend learns "you're embarrassing me, you're embarrassing you...this isn't goodnight, this is goodbye." There's nothing quite so much fun as a good dis song, and the Heat keeps the fun going on their newest album, Elevator. Virtually every track on the CD is short and sweet with plenty of energetic, poppy goodness. Standouts include "Ladies and Gentleman" (another semiburn: "everybody's got the same story--we never wanted him here, he showed up anyway."), "Middle of Nowhere," "Soldier in a Box"--well, I'll stop before I list them all. --Leah Weathersby
Album Description
Hot Hot Heat has scorched the college charts and warmed the hearts of critics with its most recent pair of indie albums. Now Canada's top Modern Rock outfit makes its major-label debut with Elevator, produced by Dave Sardy. With Elevator, Hot Hot Heat is on its way to the top with an album that, keeping with superstition, purposefully has no 13th track.

 COLLECTION OF HITS December 29, 2007
Emrah (Turkey)
This album is one of my top 10 albums of all time (and i listen music a LOT). I realized it even more how great this album is after listening to their latest release "Happiness LTD" , this one is WAY better. It doesnt have the identity crisis the later album has (oh emo is the trend, why dont we write emo lyrics too and make some ballads?!?!) no no no, if i wanted to get emotional and listen to some deep, effective, slow music id listen to Coldplay, Elliot Smith, or Bright Eyes, not HOT HOT HEAT.
They are great at doing fun, upbeat songs and they should go on that.
As for this album, it is one of the VERY RARE albums that i dont skip a single track. Theyre all AMAZING, from start to finish. With the first track "Running Out Of Time" youll start dancing and you wont sit until "Elevator" where things go a little slower, (but its still an amazing track)
So if you like fun upbeat, FEEL GOOD music, go BUY THIS ALBUM!!!
If you like Fratellis, Ok Go, youll most likely like this band.
better than the first... October 31, 2006

Hot Hot Heat is one of the few new bands to pique my interest. Their first release was decent, but "Elevator" is even better. Great tunes, drums and guitars - and, of course, Steve Bays' yelping vocals. There's only three songs I really don't care for - "Pickin' It Up", "Soldier In A Box" and "Shame On You". Looking forward to the next CD!
The higher you go! July 28, 2006

Energy=Hot Hot Heat! this album is full of it, though not just in the album as well as on the stage these four performers pour their hearts out to you and sweat as the play their instruments. With catchy melodies thougout the album, though fast that you have to look at the lyrics to see what exactly he says, you'll be sure to enjoy this alternative' dance album that makes any kid that thinks he/she is to cool to dance, Dance!!, that is all Hot Hot Heat makes you want to dance, besides that, they also have other songs like "elevator" and "jingle jangle" to tone down the album. This whole album comes from all of the emotions of a gone band member, but newly found one, being a great addition, and being in love. So to dance and sing get this album.

Elevator is indeed a good album, but I admit it does lack in some areas. The standout songs are Running Out Of Time, Goodnight Goodnight, Island of the Honest Man, Middle of Nowhere, and Shame on You. This album, although sounding like a lot of familiar rock, has this certian edge that only Hot Hot Heat has. But, you have to remember, this was made during a hard period for the band--when a former member left. Overall, though, I do reccomend buying it.

This album is amazing. I got into them after hearing one of their songs, then buying the album. At first I thought they kind of sounded like the Beatles. They have kind of an older sound. 60s to 80s.
I recommend listening to "soldier in a box", "island of the honest man", and definitely "middle of nowhere".
