"The most exciting part about this record for us was self-producing and being in control from start to finish," the band said about Light It Up. "We haven't made a record this way since Fuel For the Hate Game. As frightening as it was to not have the safety net and sounding board of a producer, it was just as liberating to make a record that is 100% Hot Water Music, scars and all." Hot Water Music will also support the album with select tour dates and festival appearances through the fall, including a stop at the can't-miss Riot Fest in Chicago and their hometown The Fest in Gainesville.
