hot seconds are a brooklyn, new york-based indie rock outfit formed in 2007 that plays fuzzed out, brit-infused indie rock with catchy hooks that are both danceable and memorable.

citing a wide array of brit-pop/rock influences, their sound somehow manages to meld the urgency/street-smart storytelling of the clash, the aural collage/majestic grandeur of spiritualized as well as the raw, funked-up, immediacy of primal scream, tied together with a love of all things manchester.

uk-born singer/songwriter james love and composer/producer eran westwood, whose credits include, among others, seminal industrial godfathers front 242 and nyc band spill, became acquainted through a chance meeting and, in discovering their mutual passion for brit pre/post-punk/rock, set out to work on a few songs for a "project" ep. far surpassing their expectations and delighted with the fruits of said efforts, it was decided to develop/re-envision the project and the duo decided to put a full band together in order to translate these songs live. soon thereafter, jack-of-all-trades marcel simoneau was tapped to man the keyboards, along with veteran nyc bassist bob troia (astronaut, superjuice) and drummer ian hudgins and HOT SECONDS was born.
