Cathartic and cerebral, Richmond, VA quartet Hotspit offers a penetrating style of music with dense layers of emotion and resonance. This sound roots itself in the fully explored genre of alt-rock while also reaching upward for something more to add to its venerated tone. The band lands upon an expansive sound that helps decipher the enigmatic nature of everyday emotions that haunt our lives.
Formed in the spring of 2019, Hotspit is the brainchild of Avery Fogarty(they/them) with members Kevin Ganley (he/him), Grant Tolber (he/him), and Kurt Bailey (he/him).
