The Toronto trio have just released the video for their American Hardcore track, “Limelight”, and it’s pretty safe to say that there isn’t much about these guys that isn’t actually ON FIRE. With sexy hot vocals that could melt solid steel, high voltage, electrifying synth and bass lines, and crushing drum beats, today’s TOTD should raise the ambient room temperature by several degrees. Get ready to sweat.

This is how we do it.

Hot Lips will be hosting the video release party at Junction City Music Hall in Toronto on December 10, 2017, along with Toronto’s highly acclaimed dark synth duo Honey Beard, pop-rock sensation Ménage, and Montreal synth-rock duo MICROPANiK.

Hot Lips Is

Karli Forget – Vox / Synth
Alex Black (Fat Mob) – Vox / Bass
Keith Heppler (Secret Broadcast / Die Mannequin) – Styx

Artist Bio

(Vox / Synth + Drums) * (Bass / Vox)

Maintaining a relatively enigmatic profile, the trio have earned a large underground following with their unique heavy synth based sound and powerful vocals which have been compared to a combination of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Nine Inch Nails. In the vein of bands such as Royal Blood and fellow Toronto artists Death From Above 1979, Hot Lips is successfully composing and performing music with the use of keys, drums and bass only.

Their engaging live performances have gained them reputable supporting spots for bands such as 3TEETH and Econoline Crush.
