New Music from Hot Sheets

Salem all-girl punk band Hot Sheets brings raw, authentic energy to their newly released album Want Me, which dropped in early March.

Born from Make Music Day in 2016, the punk trio features Karen “Dropkick” Holman on guitar and vocals, Jessica “The Claw” Amos on bass and vocals and Jamie “Bangz” Sloan on drums.

“We started writing the music over two years ago,” said Karen.

The album, which was recorded with Jason Carter at Wavelength Studio, is a follow-up to the trio’s 2018 EP. 

“The first was our beginner album; this is our evolved album,” said Karen. “We’ve been together longer — we’ve evolved as musicians. This is now more representative of who we are today.”

Want Me is available now on a variety of digital platforms. Learn more at facebook.com/hotsheetsband
