Are you one of those people that think that Hot Water Music ended too early, their final album “The New What Next” may have not jumped right out at you, but after a couple listens, it became clear that this was their strongest most mature release. One you wouldn’t expect to be their last.
But their live show on their final tour with Floggin Molly said differently, and the band that’s music that bled so much passion, had absolutely zero on stage. If you were at any of those shows, it was undeniably noticeable that the band was having problems and weren’t up to delivering the usual spectacular live show.
The tour ended and shortly after they announced their split. Just months later came word of a new band called, The Draft, made up of Jason, Chris, and George (Chuck is doing the solo thing that requires lots less touring). Signing to Epitaph, The Draft’s first album, “A Million Little Pieces”, is being released today, September 12th. What does it sound like? Well it sounds like Hot Water Music, maybe a cross between the two last Hot Water releases, “Caution” and “The New What Next”.
