Alternative Press has exclusively confirmed that legendary post-hardcore troupe Hot Water Music have signed with Rise Records. HWM will enter the studio this winter to record a new full-length—their first since 2004's The New What Next—which will be released worldwide on Rise in spring 2012. In the meantime, the band will self-release a new, two-song 7-inch this August in support of their European headlining tour with Make Do And Mend.  HWM will also be headlining Riot Fest East in Philadelphia in September and the Fest 10 in late October in their hometown of Gainesville, Florida.
