Gainesville, FL-based post-hardcore quartet Hot Water Music was formed in 1994 by singers/guitarists Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard, bassist Jason Black, and drummer George Rebelo. Debuting in 1995 with the 7" "Eating the Filler," the group soon returned with the EP Push for Coin, rounding out the year with the release of their first full-length effort, Finding the Rhythms. Fuel for the Hate Game followed in 1996, but in the wake of their third album, Forever and Counting, Hot Water Music disbanded. The group soon re-formed, however, with a series of split singles as well as a new 7", "Alachua," spread across 1998; a year later saw the release of a new studio album, No Division, as well as the Live at the Hardback set and the Moonpies for Misfits EP. Wollard and Rebelo also teamed on the side project Blacktop Cadence. Flight and a Crash marked the band's first release of the new millennium, soon followed by 2002's Caution. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide
