Press and Quotables
[J. Milo of Real Detroit Weekly]
Hotness - 3rd Time’s The Charm (4 out of 5 stars) "Pedal-to-the-metal solos and rough, unremitting percussion, bring-the-house-down-blues-rock with a sexy swagger between the dark druggy allure of the Lizard King, the smokey glam-poeticism of Mark Bolan and the virulent bravado of Zeppelin; stellar debut LP, well produced, aptly capturing the explosive energy of their '70s-blues-rock revival."
[Rachel May of The Detroit Free Press]
"[...] Though it's the group's first LP, "3rd Time's a Charm" explodes with rock-veteran prowess."

"[...] In my mind, this CD is a well-produced, well-written, homage to all that is & was great, in that down-and-dirty, my woman left me, but there are others out there, musical anarchy that has been the last 50 years of Rock-and-Roll."
[Kevin Killough of myFoxDetroit]
"Hotness put it all out there, putting on a performance well worth drive across town. Their heavy blues driven rock & roll will have you wishing that you never got rid of that green ’71 Mustang your girlfriend hated. These guys play the kind of music that would make Joe Cocker blush, knowing theses guys were on his heals."
[Christopher Chouinard of fotogink.com]
"Hotness is the coolest band steeped in burnout 70's culture since Almost Famous's fake THEY CALL ME EARL fronted band. They are the kids you WANTED to hang out with and get them yer dad's beers - but they never let you."

"Hotness overall has a sound reminiscent of everything you loved about 70’s rock! This is guitar rock, pure, simple, unadulterated. And vocalist Paul Barning’s sultry vocals call back to the glory of The Faces, or The Stones (during the Let It Burn era!)."
