Into the Hot is the debut album by synth-pop band Floy Joy. It was released in 1984. The album featured three singles "Until You Come Back To Me", "Burn Down A Rhythm" and "Operator". Both "Until You Come Back To Me" and "Operator" were minor hits in the UK.[1]

The band featured lead vocals from Carroll Thompson, Michael Ward and Shaun Ward, who went on to have more success with the single "Cross That Bridge" under the title "The Ward Brothers". A follow up album was also released in 1985 which didn't feature Thompson but Desy Campbell instead.
