Hot Snakes are an American post-hardcore band led by Rick Froberg and John Reis, formed in 1999 in San Diego, California. Reis and Froberg had previously performed together in [a=Pitchfork (2)]  and [a=Drive Like Jehu], after which Reis had found international success with [a=Rocket from the Crypt]. Hot Snakes disbanded in 2005 but reunited in 2011.

Short for "Subterranean Pop" 

The label was an outgrowth of [a=Bruce Pavitt]'s Olympia, WA based (print) fanzine, which became the well respected cassettezine of the same name. 

After his move to Seattle he ran a music column in the Seattle Rocket also called Sub Pop.

After initial forays into the record label world with a [a=Green River] 7" (not officially on Sub Pop) and the Sub Pop 100 LP, the label exploded onto the indie scene with four influential colored vinyl 7"s which included [a=Mudhoney]'s "Touch Me I'm Sick" which made the year-end top 10 playlist of nearly every music journalist in the world.

Subsequent hyping of the label in the English music press put them on the map, and grunge was born.

Label-Code is 03159; rarely found printed on releases (basically only on releases manufactured/licensed by Warner/WEA Germany)

The third and final album from the Hot Snakes originally released in 2004. Led by John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu), Audit In Progress elaborates on the band's downstroked rhythms and subsonic pulses with more fire to the mix than ever. The band recorded the album with new drummer Mario Rubalcaba at San Diego’s Big Fish Recording with engineer Ben Moore. An increased attraction to dissonance surfaced on Audit in Progress. The album was well-received by critics and fans and was named "best punk album" at the 2005 San Diego Music Awards. More shows were played and enjoyed and the band visited many cities all over the world. By 2005, the band spiraled into a mid-life punk crisis and stopped performing. LP - Limited Pink Vinyl with Download plus a new set of 6 stickers designed by the band’s Rick Froberg. CD - Digipack with custom dust sleeve.
