“Hotpants Romance are easily my perfect band this year or any other.” Everett True, Plan B Magazine
“Hotpants Romance - a band so utterly, mind-blowingly amazing that you really have to hear them to understand, mere words can't do them justice” Rachael Neiman, Cherryade Records/Dandelion Radio
“So far, so awfully good” Village Voice, New York
“Hotpants Romance are simply wonderful.” Indiemp3.com
“Why are this band not absolutely fucking massive? Come on NME, you're slacking.” Cath Aubergine, Manchestermusic.com
“Ragged, rough-hewn and unruly they might be, but Hotpants Romance are true rough musical diamonds who can shine without needing to be over-polished and are making a very convincing bid to be Manchester’s greatest ever girl group.” David Sue, Manchester Evening News
The vocals are brattish, the riffs are infectious and the drumming is insistent. Give'em an ASBO?, no siree!, give'em a record contract and a slot on Jools Holland.. I'd like to see him try and 'boogie woogie' along to this!” Scratchybuckles.com
"You girls are going to be massive... and if you aren't you should be" Big Dave
This month on Dandelion Radio I play a track by Hotpants Romance on my monthly queer-feminist-punk-pop-electro radio show. It's a mighty two hour slice of music by shouty women, political queers, underground delights you will never have heard, and under-rated past genius from the likes of Helen Love, Kirsty MacColl, Bikini Kill, Shampoo and many more. I defy you not to be inspired!
You can listen to the show daily throughout the month of November at a different time each day. Visit www.dandelionradio.com for the full schedule for the month and vote for your 3 favourite tracks of the year for this years FESTIVE 50, which we proudly host in the sad absence of John Peel.
Apologies for being spammy, but just to let you know that myself and
the Pope proudly announce the release of my second album, Murder Music,
out now on Cherryade Records.
"Prepare
yourself to be modestly outraged - McCabe is kicking against the
pricks, and declaring homosexual cliche's bankrupt" - Artrocker
"If you like punk, you'll love this. If you're queer and like punk,
you'll spunk your pants. Ste McCabe is authentic and brilliant." - Boy
George
Oh my God. ""Billies E-mails" Vs. "Billie Jean" is a piece of genius!! Is that going to be a bonus track on your next album? It should be!! Can't wait for the album by the way. My copy of It's a Heatwave awaits a friend. Hope you are all well x x x x x
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
We MISS you!! We are in America and it was telling us that it is lonely for you. crying inside like a giant pickled onion from a chip shop! Come over NOW and we'll go to the Double RR for some cherry pie! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thank you for accepting our Request. We really love your music....you have a fantastic sound. And, of course, any body who is so highly rated by Everett True must be doing something right.
