Can Hot Hot Heat Still Burn?

Well, can they?

Hot Hot Heat released one of the catchiest albums of '02 with Make Up The Breakdown (come on, admit that you know all the words to 'Bandages' - The Sluts surely do). Their follow up LP, Elevator, failed to impress critics and fans, alike. The band's third full-length will be released this September. Billboard has more:

*Canadian rock outfit Hot Hot Heat will return in the fall with its next album, "Happiness LTD." Due Sept. 11 via Sire, the project was co-produced by the band with Butch Walker, Tim Palmer and Rob Cavallo. Tracks include "Outta Heart," which frontman Steve Bays calls "the most non-Hot Hot Heat song we've ever done," and "Harmonicas & Tambourines," which features four drum kits playing at once.

"It covers the journey from bliss to misery and the attempt to get back to bliss, while acknowledging how exciting the ride can be in between."*
