Hot Water Music are excited to announce the Friday, May 10 release of Vows, the long-standing, influential punk outfit’s brand new album on End Hits Records. Helmed by veteran producer Brian McTernan, Vows features high-profile guest appearances from the likes of Thrice, Dallas Green (City and Colour // Alexisonfire), The Interrupters, Daniel Fang and Brendan Yates (Turnstile) and Popeye Vogelsang (Calling Hours //ex-Farside).

Leading the collection is the album opener “Menace” and blistering “Burn Forever,” two towering tracks that right out of the gate illustrate the power that the members of Hot Water Music — Chuck Ragan (vocals/guitar), Chris Wollard (vocals/guitar), Chris Cresswell (vocals/guitar), Jason Black (bass) and George Rebelo (drums) – put forth across this intense and musically daring 12-song showcase.

“In this day and age, it’s easy to get caught up in day-to-day frustrations,” Ragan says about “Menace.” “What isn’t easy all the time is recognizing our ability to choose our mental state. We own the power to slow down enough to be present in our anger, realizing the paths away from hatred and preparing ourselves for the next time we cross ways with menace.” Wollard adds, “‘Burn Forever’ is about processing grief. Allowing it to happen, and also about the things we learn to help us through it.”
