The Heat Inc.'s scorching debut album "Asleep In The Ejector Seat"

London band The Heat Inc. came in hot with their first full-length LP Asleep In The Ejector Seat back in 2023, and we're still talking about how great it is! The band bring influences spanning many genres and sub-genres of popular music; from blues, to punk/post-punk, to garage rock, and pop-rock, creating a clean, sharp-sounding energetic record: the kind you can't help but bang your head along to the beat!

Why not have a listen to one of the songs as you read this short review of the LP!

From iconic rocking bass and guitar parts to upbeat rhythms and impressive vocals, this LP is a culmination of all my favourite bands in one package. With intense emotion and depth in each of these 10 tracks that makes you feel and think different; and no matter your mood, whether you are feeling melancholic or pumped up or anything in between, there's a song here to match your particular energy when listening!

No matter what your go to of these music genres is, you'll likely find it within the tracks. The LP as a whole has many memorable moments that you cant help but think of the influences and how each track was created. With iconic sounds of those such as The Clash, U2, The Undertones, and The Pandoras (particularly the punky guitar sound in the Heat Inc.'s "Souvenir"), and even some styles from the late 90s/early 00s peaking through, similar to The Libertines or Arctic Monkeys. Whatever music genre you want to hear, this album is 1000% the one to play... on full volume!

As you progress through the track list, you get a different style and genre for each song; with the last of the tracks being the slowest and calmest; showing the bands distinct ability to play multiple genres of music and still being able to intricately perfect each singular detail of the songs. My favourite of all the tracks on this LP is the ultimate track "Ultraviolence". This is the slowest and (in my opinion) the most emotion-filled track on the album; i listened to this track and was immediately taken to Mazzy Star's So Tonight That I Might See album: i love how different this particular track is to the rest of the LP; all of the raw atmosphere and complex emotions are out in a crystal-clear recording for us lucky folk to take in, relate to, or just enjoy.

This incredible LP is available on vinyl and the final track "Ultraviolence" is available to stream and download on the band's bandcamp page and Spotify along with their other music. Follow The Heat Inc. on their social media to keep up to date with gigs and new music here: Instagram Facebook
