The Hotness is a North Carolina quintet whose metalcore approach is decked out with gobs of Southern rock and an abundance screamo, kind of like an unlikely combination of Every Time I Die and Three Doors Down. On STAY CLASSY, this act trudges through 10-tracks of slightly sleazy hard rock like "Classy" while managing to sound like countless other mainstream punk bands on cuts like "The Ghost" and "Dearly Departed", only keeping their guitars a bit more twangy. While these guys can clearly provide moments of controlled chaos with a backwoods stomp a la Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, there's barely enough of their own identity injected here to keep STAY CLASSY at the head of the class.
