The most thrilling Australian album of 2007 is not what you expected. It's an assured, hook-laden, memorable bolt out of the blue - and when The Hot Lies strike a match, restless rockers across the nation will be lining up to get reckless with them. The debut album from The Hot Lies, Ringing in the Sane may be nothing you expected, but it's certainly everything you hoped. Produced by Phil McKeller (Silverchair, Grinspoon, Kisschasy) Ringing in the Sane journeys from the fires of Tokyo to bile-filled internet messageboards, from intense punk to '80s-flavoured art rock, from the jerking rhythms of Can't Stand the Heat to the contagious drama of first single Emergency! Emergency! Born in the Adelaide hardcore scene in 2004, but raised - like all good Aussie bands - on the highways between gigs, The Hot Lies have toured with every big name in punk rock, from Millencolin to My Chemical Romance, and they'll add Good Charlotte and Sum 41 to that list before the year is out. They've played Taste of Chaos alongside The Used, Big Day Out alongside The White Stripes.
