[edit] Biography
The band was originally known as Antidote under which they released the album Mr. Glenbowski, which won the group the award of Best Unsigned Band of 1998 by Musician Magazine. The band subsequently moved to Connecticut and released If I Knew Now What I Knew Then under their present moniker.[1]
Hot Rod Circuit has toured with The Get Up Kids, Jazz June, Saves the Day, At the Drive-In, and Say Anything. Guitarist Andy Jackson has actually toured as a member of the latter band.
Most recently, the band recorded with A-level producer Tim O'Heir and released the full length album "Reality's Coming Through" on Vagrant Records.
The name 'Hot Rod Circuit' comes from a Mr. Burns quote on the TV show, The Simpsons. "The year is 1965, and you and I are undercover detectives on the hot rod circuit."[2]
