Hot Shot Kixxx create a fascinating brand of rock music with their Tadpoles. Intense guitar work calls back to the post-hardcore style, while the slinky sound of the act links together Muse, Jane’s Addiction, and System of a Down. The intense instrumental section encountered during the 1:40 mark builds upon the framework of acts like Tool and The Deftones. Tadpoles is a hard-rocking track that easily moves through a number of distinct styles. Hot Shot Kixxx are charismatic, bright, and create a radio-friendly effort that has enough teeth to counter even the most jaded technical heads. Give Tadpoles a shot.
