Hot Stove Jimmy busted out on the Chicago ska/punk scene in 1996 with their HUGE sound, a sonic avalanche of noise, ska, circus music, hardcore, metal and punk all mixed into....by a 10 person band! Yet, amidst all this aggressive noise and energy, Hot Stove Jimmy finds a way to write catchy songs full of vocal harmonies and melodic breakdowns. CMJ Magazine describes them as "ten young, talented musicians.....their enthusiasm steals the show!", which is well documented in Chicago playing to near sell our crowds at Metro and Fireside.
