The Hot Toddies
Eat Your Heart Out

It's difficult not to heart The Hot Toddies. The beautiful Oakland-based quartet (comprised of Erin, Heidi, Jessica and Sylvia) lays charming vocals over easy listening pop rock melodicism that will simply make your heart sing.

Formed by Erin and Heidi in 2004 while lying on one of Mexico's delightful beaches, the duo began drinking whiskey together and writing songs for their lovable brainchild. A year later, Jessica and Sylvia joined in on the masquerade, and by 2006, they released their first EP. In 2007, they dropped their official debut album Smell The Mitten, an eleven-track collection that featured beautiful harmonies with a doo-wop vibe.

Now, three years later after touring 'round the globe, The Hot Toddies return with their sophomore set Get Your Heart On. Mixing 1950's beach pop with indie rock riffs, it's a tender ten-track collection where songs like "Only With You," "Slow Cookin'," and "Keep On Runnin'" will put your soul at ease. In fact, it'll make your heart and soul smile. That's what it does to us, at least.

Another track that will give you that sensation is "Ordinateur Ordinaire," which you can check out a live performance of below.
