The Heat Exchange

Genre: Rock
Secondary Genre: Alternative Seattle, Washington USA Contact

The Heat Exchange bridge the gap between indie and classic rock, delivering high energy material with a dissonant blues groove. Think Built to Spill, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, The Black Keys, and The White Stripes and mix in some Hendrix, Cream and Zeppelin and you're getting close.

Artist Information

Biography

The Heat Exchange hail from Seattle, WA. Keith & Chris first started playing as The Heat Exchangers back in summer of 2005. By next spring we were looking for a new drummer. In summer 2006, as we reached the depths of despair, Matt finally answered the call. We liked him so much, we didn't care that he misheard the name and told everyone he was in The Heat Exchange. So, we changed the name rather than risk losing him.

Since that time, we’ve played shows all over Seattle at The Sunset Tavern, High Dive, The Skylark Cafe, El Corazon, and The Central Saloon, amongst others.

Instrumentation

Keith Reimer - guitar and vocals
Chris McGann - bass
Matt Evans - drums

Discography

Our debut full-length CD, "Progress ruins everything, but what else is there?", is a dynamic rocker that delves into politics, religion and introspection - balanced by self-deprecating humor and lively wordplay. Sliding chordal rhythms backed by driving bass and drums form the foundation for elements of dirty rock, Hendrix-y blues, playful romps, and unabashed pop interspersed with searing guitar solos and instrumental breakdowns.
