Drowned In Sound
A dancefloor hit to be in the homes of the discerning punk-pop-rocker, Angles is a relatively fuss-free frenzy of insatiable beats and dizzyingly delivered rhythms. It’ll engage your feet and leave your brain time to turn off almost totally that, to this writer at least, equals near-perfect pop fare. 7/10

Uncut
….”Angles” shares the same inspiration that characterized new wave’s first phase… 3/5

Losing Today
All in all, this offering is captivating and manages to steer through welt-trodden territory picking out different sights. What is it with the Italians, eh? They win the World Cup and now they feel ready to do anything?

Rocklouder
Having already paid the United Kingdom a visit it wouldn’t be difficult to see a place for Hot Gossip in the British music scene. Don’t tell anyone, but we reckon these boys could be big news next year!

All in all this offering is captivating and manages to steer through well-trodden territory picking out different territories.

Disorder
A sound so English that if they had been of English decent they probably would have been bandled about with a new Libertines title

ITALIAN PRESS CLIPS

“Hot Gossip are that kind of Italian indie band that sing in English…. if they were English they would be well known and praised in their country..” (4/5)
Alessandra Roncato Rolling Stone

“Its nearly impossible not to be excited about these 13 tracks, the cd is really amazing and could really do well abroad, its almost a perfect album with an impetuosness that reminds me of Hives, an amphetaminic punk rock style and spastic rythms that remind me of Brainiac. Is this all too much? Just try and get surprised by Five, John Rowland, (Things Happen) On A Tuesday or Stab City and then you can tell us if were right.” ….(8/10)
Stefano Gilardino Rock Sound

“I cant frankly remember a convincing debut album like this being released lately and I think everybody will talk about Hot Gossip soon! Well done!” (8/8)
Riccardo Bandiera Blow Up

“…Should this album be released in the U.K. Hot Gossip would be praised as the new Libertines!” (4/5)
Giulio Brusati – XL Magazine

“…Smart but adorable, garage, dirty and irresistibly danceable in the middle of a rocknroll party, Hot Gossip are exciting!” (4/5)
Paola Andreoni Beat Magazine

“Half an hour of adrenalinic music and some great tracks as Real Mess, (Things Happen) On A Tuesday, La Mort, Before Tonight and the electro robotic Haarp” (4/5)
Andrea Pomini – Rumore

AMM „Dancepunk ist nun auch endlich im Land der Fußballweltmeister angekommen. Hot Gossip machen das ganz gut mit der Verquickung von modischen, tanzbaren Gitarren-Riffs it hippen Breaks und Rhythmen. Feine Sache, was da auf ‘Angles’ zu hören ist. Wer übrigens noch die Band Candies kennen sollte, dem sei an dieser Stelle anvertraut, dass Hot Gossip aus dieser hervorgegangen ist.“

OX “With an orientation towards gnarly garage-style pop sounds, Hot Gossip show that they can create nice and cuddly songs (“La mort”) as well as noisy crashers with indie-disco-qualities (“No Party”)”

VISIONS “After a headbutt from this band, Materazzi wouldn’t have gotten back up: wild Italian punkrock with bad marks for behaviour…ANGLES is a cycle of beatings… and still they always keep their wiriness and never forget their affiliation to liberating choruses…”

INTRO "Time races, as do you. The bass from HOT GOSSIP still outruns you at every corner on the docks.. the open hi-hat perfects the sound. Reminds of great porn-pop from… well, some years ago. "

TRUST “The three Italians are probably dressed much worse than (The Hives), their music rocks at least just as much though… The songs are extremely catchy, you put in the CD and never want to stop listening to it. There are some hits on the way…”

SLAM "Therefore: HOT GOSSIP is hot shit!“

PNG "A true delight!…HOT GOSSIP are from Italy and are really hot punkrock shit… And since the music got this critic addicted, he demands more immediately. Please! "

WESTZEIT “at this point, (the) Sonic can go home”

ROLLING STONE (Germany) “Successful Italian hardcore-band playing unrestrained indie-punkrock, like people used to play in the late 80s. Sticky drums, wild anger, shotgun guitars….”

Plattentests.de „Die drei aus dem Ort Varese in der Lombardei stammenden Hitzköpfe haben im Prinzip das erschaffen, wonach sich momentan das gesamte UK die Plektren fletscht und haben dabei noch dem sonst so bierernsten und stylishen Art School-Sound eine Prise Humor und Ironie verpaßt. Das war bitter nötig. Der Dreier weiß nämlich noch, wo der Punk die Nieten hat.“

Homeofrock.de "…sie bieten eine Mischung aus feuerrotem Alternative Rock, Reminiszenzen an die 80er Wave-Jahre, ein bisschen Trash und jede Menge furiosen Powerpop, bei aller Energie immer mit ein
