The Hot Damn

About Me

Gathered from various parts of Ohio and previous bands, joined via Craigslist and forged in the hot fires of Ash's basement, we are loose in Columbus with a bunch of instruments, some original songs, and the will to entertain you.

Our first release is out and available for purchase May 30th on Merit Badge Records .

We like playing out live and will do it just about anywhere we can. We're always open to show opportunities, so drop us a line with any booking inquiries.
