Hot Snakes
San Diego post-hardcore rockers Hot Snakes have a history with Australia. The last time they were Down Under they recorded the live studio album, Thunder Down Under, before disbanding shortly after. It didn’t look like we’d see them again – but thankfully Hot Snakes have come out of hibernation to play select shows, including Australian headline shows and a stint at this year’s Meredith Music Festival. Ahead of their tour, Killyourstereo caught up with guitarist John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Night Marchers) for a quick chat.
Past Lives
“There’s still that distance between us that makes it hard for us to collaborate and create something new. But that said, who knows? There’s definitely no plans to do anything and I don’t see it happening, but then again I never saw us getting back together and playing shows either.”
