About the artist

This Heat

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's THIS HEAT! This enigmatic trio from London burst onto the music scene in the late 1970s, bringing a blend of experimental rock, post-punk, and avant-garde electronica that left audiences scratching their heads in awe. Led by the visionary Charles Hayward, THIS HEAT have been hailed as one of the most influential bands of their time, paving the way for countless artists to push the boundaries of genre and sound. With a sonic palette that ranged from eerie whispers to cacophonous cacophony, THIS HEAT were never afraid to challenge conventions and forge their own path in the industry. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1979, remains a cult classic to this day, with its hypnotic rhythms and haunting melodies capturing the hearts and minds of listeners worldwide.

But for those in the know, their legacy looms large, inspiring generations of musicians to think outside the box and push the boundaries of what music can be. So if you're in the mood for something a little out of the ordinary, look no further than THIS HEAT.
