Epitaph signs Hot Water Music

Florida's Hot Water Music has reportedly signed a deal with Epitaph Records. Their new record is slated for release in April or May of 2001. The bands Jason Black says of the development: "Some of you might not like this decision, but we really like the people at the lable and respect their track record as well many of the artists they work with, and we hope you do, too. We're not going to start sounding like freaking NOFX, so don't sweat it."
