Hot Water Music rose from a local force to a legendary punk juggernaut during their run together from the early 1990s until 2005. The band reformed in 2008 at a secret show in their hometown of Gainesville, and just announced plans to record their first full-length record since 2004 to be released in spring of 2012. The band shocked fans when it announced the new album would be released on Rise Records, but bassist Jason Black said the group "expect[s] that reaction from almost any decision [they] make."
