Hot Water Music have never had a hit single or seen their faces plastered all over MTV, but over the years the act has done something far more impressive: They’ve achieved a lasting relevance that most of the aforementioned acts could only dream about. Since forming in the early nineties in Gainesville, Florida, Hot Water Music have released seven full-length albums, countless singles, 7 inches and B-Sides and toured with everyone from Flogging Molly to AFI to Coheed And Cambria —but all of those stats are overshadowed by the fact that for nearly two decades this four-piece have stayed true to their roots, themselves and their music in the face of countless fads and generational shifts. Hot Water Music was born in 1993, and since then the four-piece have never looked back. By combining elements of punk rock, post-hardcore, with rock and roll, the band pioneered a unique blend of music that has set them apart as innovators of a movement that has inspired bands like Rise Against, The Gaslight Anthem, and Against Me!.

Originally released in October 1997, Rise Records is re-releasing this classic album that will always be considered one of the best post-hardcore records of all time. Hot Water Music – Forever and Counting is currently at legacy status and will remain that way for eternity. These songs shaped an underground movement that is still thriving today. The true underground.
