HOT MULLIGAN have release B-side single. ‘I Don’t Think It’s the Right Time for Emojis’ which falls ahead of their EU/UK tour which starts tomorrow, 20th February.

Tades, vocalist in the band states:
“Zealotry is probably going to kill us all. Which is fine, guess. It’s no better or worse than any other kind of annihilation. There’s some people of faith who seem to understand not everyone has to care what their book says, and that deserves thanks. But judging by how many people are showing up for the mega-church Sunday spectacular, complete with pyro and wirework, the meek are not likely to inherit the earth.

Joel Osteen locked people outside during Hurricane Harvey. Kenneth Copeland uses his church to buy planes, fancy cars, and houses. The camel can apparently very easily fit through the eye of the needle. David Easterwood is a pastor who runs an ICE field office on the side. Half of the archdiocese’s job is to cover for paedophiles.
I think some people can do it right. They’re nice people with a big nice ghost and I don’t mind that one bit. But I think most people are just so afraid to die that they can look past the evil thing their church has become.”

The Sound A Body Makes When It’s Still is driven by a sense of fear that erupts into blistering choruses, revealing some of the most unguarded moments Hot Mulligan has ever committed to tape. At its core, the record is raw, relentless, and impossible to ignore. Packed with fight-or-flight hooks, it commands attention from the first note, while its finer details including shimmering guitar lines, subtle synth flourishes, and Tades Sanville’s gripping high notes, make it the band’s most cohesive and fully realised body of work to date.

About Hot Mulligan

Hot Mulligan, composed of vocalist Tades Sanville, guitarists Chris Freeman and Ryan Malicsi, bassist Jonah Kramer, and drummer Brandon Blakeley, is a ride-or-die testament to staying true to yourself. When the emo band formed in 2014 and cut their teeth playing house shows and naming songs by closing their eyes and typing into auto-correct on their phones, no one expected they’d be selling out thousand-cap venues, one of their scene’s most respected bands a decade later. But as the band readies their phenomenal fourth LP The Sound a Body Makes When Its Still (Wax Bodega), that’s exactly where they’re at. Hot Mulligan is a resounding success story, the #1 Hot New Band (11 years running, just ask them), and ready to keep fighting the good fight.

Since 2018’s Pilot put Hot Mulligan on the map, they’ve been lauded in Paste and Alternative Press, streamed over 140 million times on Spotify, and toured with sonic forefathers like The Wonder Years and Jimmy Eat World. For Hot Mulligan, the new LP is a white-knuckled affirmation of everything they stand for.
