   About HOT CHALLENGE
"I was so impressed with their brand new song 'Eyes Open' - which I just debuted this week on soundcheck - that it helped catapult this SF band to 3 on this riveting [top ten local band] chart of mine."

- Aaron Axelson, Music Director of 105.3 KITS

"Electronica that you should dance to. Hot Challenge blends synths, guitars and drum machines to create a party atmosphere."

- SF Chronicle's OFF THE RECORD




Hot Challenge is formed of vocalist/guitarist JP Rose, vocalist/keyboardist David Rose, and bassist/vocalist Joe Rose. Hot Challenge is a genre-bending group that combines elements from rock, pop, rhythm and blues, as well as dance music to create a sound that is both unique and intensely catchy.


"...typical of the disc...is a balance between rock and dance elements, culminating in the brilliantly constructed “End of the World,” which plays like a hit waiting to happen with its chiming, U2-inspired guitars and engaging four-on-the-floor chorus accented by an off-snare beat."
---Performer Magazine, June 2008

"...their performance is charged with a certain...gleeful kind of energy that keeps the music feeling more fun than heavy handed. The drummer of Hot Challenge performed sans shirt. The band wore matching white denim pants. The bassist wore a red neckerchief, mm-hmm, and Vegas-era-Elvis sunglasses. This kind of goofy abandon is refreshing, and it also reveals personality—something that's maybe just as important as musicianship."
--Owl Magazine review of Hot Challenge's Great American Music Hall show on February 2, 2008

"A local fan put it best when I asked her initial thoughts of Hot Challenge’s music. 'These guys make my spinner go crazy when I listen to them during a game of twister.'...The difference between a purely “local” band and a “local” band such as Hot Challenge is their songwriting ability, which comes through in every song."
--Zero Magazine, February 2008

"Nearly one year ago Hot Challenge were playing shows at Brainwash, a tiny venue that doubles as a Laundromat...This gives you a good idea of how far they've come in a short amount of time, because now they're headlining the Great American Music Hall. How did the band, whose music walks the line between postironic, '80s-revival synth pop and modern rock staples like Bloc Party and the Killers, accomplish this feat? By hustling its butt off, playing big-dumb-smile-inducing live shows, and making polished electrorock that's as unpretentious as it is danceable."
--SF Bay Guardian, January 30, 2008

“Hot Challenge is a polished San Francisco indie-techno rock band that has lots of modern elements and sounds reminiscent of Interpol, the Killers, Bloc Party and perhaps a touch of Muse and the Cure. Infused with all that is a welcome emphasis on catchy choruses that make the band's new EP one of the most digestible records I've heard in a long time...this is a band that understands that just enough style and substance with good hooks can cross lines and attract a wide fan base.”
--Contra Costa Times, January 17, 2008
