Heat

"This Life"

BY Josiah HughesPublished Apr 24, 2015

Next week, Montreal rock troupe Heat will reissue their self-titled debut under the new title Rooms. In addition to some music we've heard before, the new edition is expanded with a pair of new songs, one of which is "This Life."

The song's an anthemic rock shaker built on a playful guitar lead and some half-sung vocals that recall Lou Reed and Julian Casablancas. It's a song that could've come from any era of rock'n'roll, and it sounds right at home on our 2015 playlists as well.

Listen to the premiere of "This Life" below. 

Rooms will be reissued on April 27 via Kitsuné. Further, the group also have a handful of tour dates planned throughout the summer, including a huge trek through Quebec. The full itinerary is below.
