About Hot Water Music
Hot Water Music formed in Gainesville, Florida in 1994, with Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard on guitars and vocals, Jason Black on bass and George Rebelo on drums. Their early records came out through the local No Idea label, and albums such as No Division and Fuel for the Hate Game made them a reference point for a generation of melodic punk bands.
They moved to Epitaph for A Flight and a Crash and Caution, split in the mid-2000s, and later reformed, releasing Exister in 2012 and further records after that. Ragan has also kept up a solo career playing rough-voiced folk and country songs.
