HRC i always saw as 'the band that can't do wrong'. things that came out from them was amazing to me. originally being from CT i took great pride they were from CT. they were one of the bands defined my youth.

I saw these dudes at Warped a few years back. I was one of like 13 people watching them. They are so much better than that. Love this band.

THIS. One of the only bands i saw live and became an instant fan, saw them like three times when they were opening up for other bands

Amazing band. Sorry About Tomorrow is definitely one of my favorite records. Good dudes too. Poorman's the man!

one of my favorite bands ever. got to see them play a farewell show in carrboro. it was amazing.

Favorite band ever. I Covered "The Power of the Vitamins" in high school. If It's Cool With You, It's Cool With Me and Sorry About Tomorrow are essential listening for anyone into raw, powerful indie rock. I'm ready for the reunion now. Please.

Love this band. Saw them tons of times over the years. Hopefully they will be back together someday. Death in the Park had some decent tracks, but not sure what happend to that. My fave HRC songs: Flight 89, Safely, At Nature's Mercy.

I still have a guitar pick Andy gave me back in 2002 when they played some festival in Eastern LI. I think it was called maybe this island earth fest. Talked to him for a few minutes, great dude.

hey, I can't seem to download that song from the original link on his profile.. could I bother you to send it to me? Obviously it's not a violation of copyright laws since it was originally uploaded for free here.. and I would love to hear it.

Does anyone know Terrible Things is gonna be similar to what happened in Two Tongues where Chris and Max shared the lead singer duties from song to song or is Fred gonna be the primary vocalist with Andy as backup?

this band was too good and its sad that they never really got their due. they could not write a bad song and is the definition of passionate, authentic music with heart and soul. the get up kids and hot rod perfected this type of music. as good as it gets.

shout out to all these neo/trendy/talentless pop punk bands today: THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE.

R.I.P. hot rod circuit

thank you
 
it's really awesome to see so many people post such kind words about the band. the four years i played in hrc were the best years of my life. we met so many great people and played with so many amazing bands, all the while, seeing the world. i wouldn't trade that for anything. thanks guys.
