Album Notes

Spit Hot Fire, the self-titled second release and first full length album by the alternative/reggae/rock band from New York City, brings to life the stories, mixed emotions and experiences of a young man pursuing his dreams and success in one of the most exciting, difficult and harrowing places in the world. With words accompanied by the gritty, melodic, and harmonious dub laced rock and pop of the band, singer/songwriter/guitarist Bryce Alvord’s tales of escapade, hope, love, lust, exaltation, loss, anger, depression, and redemption will entertain and captivate you with their intelligence, wit, and raw honesty. Highly relatable to any young artist or passionate soul, the stories of the album intimately describe the real life drama and the struggle of coming to age in the big city. On the brink of success and bordering on destitution at the same time, on top of the world in one moment and deep in sorrow the next, the driving, hip-hop influenced beats mixed with the diversity and sophisticated simplicity of Spit Hot Fire’s music will bring you to their world while keeping your head nodding and your hips shaking the whole record long.
Debuting at #16 on the CMJ Adds Charts #1084 with no label support, and pushing their debut album with their world class video for “October Nights”, Spit Hot Fire is just at the beginning of their musical quest for eminence 3 years after their founding. A five-piece band that includes Bryce Alvord, Ben Altman, Travis Satten, Daniel Mensch, and Justin Kimmel, this NYC crew has quickly travelled the long hard road from playing dingy rock clubs on Monday nights for 5 people, and ascended to their current status of rocking hundreds of fans in major New York City venues, achieving regional touring success and followings in multiple east coast cities, attaining national radio airplay on hundreds of independent and college stations, acquiring multiple licensing deals, and sharing the stage with national Reggae acts such as SOJA and Passafire. But so much more remains for Spit Hot Fire. With pending developments in the way of international touring opportunities and music licensing placements in major network television, 2009 will be the year that breaks Spit Hot Fire. Not to be pigeonheld in any specific niche or genre, Spit Hot Fire’s energetic, eclectic brand of music appeals to a broad fan base, as the current, relevant, hot music that it is. Jump on the train and don’t miss a thing, and check out Spit Hot Fire today.
