Hot Water Music discuss signing with Rise Records
Hot Water Music bassist Jason Black has discussed the band's decision to sign with Rise Records in a new interview with Absolute Punk.
When asked about the decision, Black said:
"We definitely talked to a few other labels. We’ve worked with a lot of other people – we’ve done releases, or Chuck has done releases, with Epitaph, Side One Dummy and No Idea. As a band, since we started this we’ve always been interested in working with as many different people as possible. Doing something different definitely factored in, but Craig [Ericson, owners of Rise Records] really wanted to do the record more than anyone else. That’s the number one deciding factor for us, whoever wants to do it most will probably do the best job. When we signed to Epitaph, people freaked out. When we toured with Sick Of It All people freaked out. At this point we expect that reaction from almost any decision we make."
