Sounds Like
Straddling the line between indie and classic rock, The Heat Exchange deliver high-energy material with an underlying dissonant blues groove. Think Built to Spill, The Black Keys, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, Modest Mouse, with some Hendrix, Cream and Zeppelin thrown in and you're getting close. People who've seen us have said anything from those bands to The Minutemen, No Means No, The Dead Kennedys and The Who.
Quotes:
"it's hard to find bands nowadays that actually sound like THEMSELVES...
not so, with the Heat Exchange-- a cool blend of dischordant guitars,
downplayed but highly political lyrics, and a kick ass rhythm section that
conjures up images of No Means No playing beach volleyball with Dick Dale
and the Deltones. i had the distinguished pleasure of recording them, and
i'd definitely do it again!"
-rob sharp, the playroom
Back in action! After a long few months of distractions and knee surgeries, The Heat Exchange is back up and running. We've been down at The Jam Box working on some new tunes we'll be recording soon, and looking to start booking some shows. Sign up for our email list below and we'll let you know when the next one is.
Now back to the promo... Our self-released debut full-length CD, Progress ruins everything, but what else is there? is a dynamic rocker that delves into politics, religion and introspection - balanced by self-deprecating humor and lively wordplay. Sliding chordal rhythms backed by driving bass and drums form the foundation for elements of dirty rock, Hendrix-y blues, playful romps, and unabashed pop interspersed with searing guitar solos and instrumental breakdowns.
