[2008-10-13] H.E.A.T to play Firefest in two weeks!
Hello everyone and especially you from the U.K!
Since Pretty Maids cancelled their show at the Firefest festival due to logistics problems we were asked to take their place, with very short notice, and of course we accepted! Other great artists to play are Firehouse, Danger Danger, Tyketto, Jeff Scott Soto, Mitch Malloy among others. We're thrilled and honoured!

Here's a quote from the Firefest website:
"On the Plus side, once it became apparent Pretty Maids could not perform a frantic search began for a replacement act. Two weeks to show time is generally not the greatest time to be looking for a replacement act, but we have struck gold H.E.A.T the latest hard rock sensations from Sweden , currently riding high with their critically acclaimed self titled debut album have accepted our invitation to play. Following a barrage of e mails and phone calls on Saturday morning , Eric Rivers and Kieran Dargan worked out the finer points and H.E.A.T will now slot into the Sunday line up for FF5. "We were planning on playing at Firefest 2009, so getting the chance to play this year is pretty damn awesome!" says guitar played Eric Rivers. "

[2008-04-22] 8/10 from Sweden Rock Magazine!
We've just recieved another great review from the well-respected magazine Sweden Rock Magazine. They gave us the fantastic grade 8/10.
Per Hesselrud of SRM wrote: "Ett riktigt fantastiskt musicerande, gammaldags Väsbykörer och starka låtar gör bandet till ett fynd för den som gillar sin 80-talsretro välspelad och chosefri. Poängen med H.E.A.T är att de i både produktion och låtinnehåll är så långt över den brittiska och tyska dussin-AOR som brukar drabba oss".
So go out and pick up the May-issue to read the whole review!
