"HotChelleRae's intrinsic swagger and dominance belie their youth, but that's the only misleading bit about this Nashville four-piece. They are honest to goodness rock and roll at its finest--ripe and arrogant, sweating with tangible promise that hangs in the air at their live shows. Posh arrangements featuring refreshingly tasteful guitar, sly lyrics and a 20-year-old lead singer dripping with charisma leave you knowing that these guys will end up somewhere--everywhere.
