REVIEWS

Losing Today review of Hot Air "Escape Act meld contagious power chord sensibilities with a deliciously contagious song craft that belies an unsurpassable flair for carving a honey honed hook or three."

NoClarity.co.uk review of Hot Air "radio songs that really will provide a soundtrack to your summer”

mp3hugger review of Hot Air "Spiralling guitars, neat melodic vocals and pounding rhythms come together to create a burst of exhilarating noise... Escape Act have initiated their shimmering assault on the masses”

Hot Press review of Hot Air "The upbeat and catchy melodies are engaging. This ep will stay in your head for days, but the tracks are so likeable that you won’t mind at all.” Meg Duffy

Irish News review of Hot Air “plenty of hooks and simple but effective melodies” David Roy

AU review of Hot Air "...it's the songs that ultimately impress...driving, spindly indie-pop aesthetic, lyrical bite and melodies you'll be humming by the second chorus".

Colin Carberry of Ireland's Hot Press describes the group's music as "ferociously upbeat and head spinning."

ABOUT ESCAPE ACT

escape act make music because they have to. formed in summer 2006, the three-piece have gigged extensively around Ireland and released an acclaimed EP 'Hot Air' in April 07.

they have since been working on new recordings with producer Andy Miller at Chem19 studios, Glasgow. A single 'God Says' will be released on May 1st on digital and limited 7" coloured vinyl, with an album release planned for autumn 08.

the youthfulness of the current project belies the trio's gigging and recording experience with previous exploits including support slots with The Breeders, White Stripes, Snow Patrol, Gomez, and Stephen Malkmus.
