Record Highlight — The Heat Tape

The Heat Tape from Makanda, IL has signed on with Underground Communiqué Records for the release of their new eponymous 7”! This new four song single is the band’s follow up to their debut album, Raccoon Valley Recordings, which was released last year by Red Scare.

Fronted by Brett Hunter from the Copyrights/Dear Landlord, the band continues their lo-fi and primitive-stomp sound that was the benchmark set on the debut. The songs have an effortless air to them and are stacked with infectious hooks that start with a casual, uncontrollable foot tapping along to the beat, quickly progressing to humming the tunes at any idle moment in the day and then into full on “obsesso mode.”  The 7″ just shipped, and will be added to the Underground Communique store soon, so stay tuned…
