About This Item
Limited deluxe edition vinyl LP pressing. True to it's title, 2002's Caution immediately demands the listener's undivided attention. With a unique blend of heartfelt punk, guttural rock, and explorative neo-hardcore, Hot Water Music shirks categorization on Caution. Immediate and infectious on InchTrusty Chords,Inch a feral rocker that works off a pop blueprint, the band emphasizes variety as it glides into the rhythm-steeped InchOne Step To SlipInch and the cathartic InchI Was On A Mountain.Inch Further demonstrating HWM's depth, Caution sees the band careen from the circle-pit stylings of InchWayfarerInch to the subtle yet frenetic underpinning of InchAlright For NowInch with artful management. InchWe've never tried to be anything but what we are,Inch say's bassist Jason Black. InchMusically, we've never wanted to define ourselves at all.Inch And in keeping with that assessment, the Gainesville, FL foursome differs from virtually every other band making punk-inspired sounds in the new millennium. On Caution - the group's second for Epitaph - HWM drives home the point that music should be more about substance and skill and less about red hair dye.
