Hot Water Music
Caution LP vinyl

Released in 2002, Caution finds Hot Water Music at their most confident and refined, without sacrificing the raw intensity that had defined them from the beginning. The Gainesville, Florida band combines driving punk rock, post-hardcore grit and melodic songwriting into a record that feels both urgent and deeply personal.

With Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard sharing vocal duties, the album moves effortlessly between grit and melody, while the band’s trademark rhythm section keeps everything pushing forward. Tracks like “Remedy,” “Trusty Chords,” “I Was on a Mountain” and “Wayfarer” showcase a band capable of turning frustration, doubt and resilience into huge, emotionally charged anthems.

Caution was the band’s final album for Epitaph before they signed with a major label, making it an important turning point in their story. But beyond its place in the band’s history, the record simply stands on its own: powerful, melodic and fiercely sincere.

A landmark Hot Water Music album and an essential record for anyone into punk, post-hardcore and emotionally driven rock.
