San Francisco's Hot Lunch were formed in 2010 following the breakup of singer/bandleader Eric Shea's prior band, the hard rock quartet <a href="spotify:artist:2t0sLZhWLS8qpXMYPymQyQ">Parchman Farm</a>. Shea, a singer, skater, and longtime fixture in the Bay Area rock and punk scenes, saw the split as an opportunity to start a new band with some longtime friends with whom he'd always wanted to collaborate. Inspired by their mutual love for heavy-riffing bands like <a href="spotify:artist:4PI5IHRvANLL76O5gRmGKL">Blue Cheer</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2Omy3P5hFZym7FKum1JA1s">UFO</a> and their common interest in skate culture, Shea recruited his new bandmates from various other local bands that shared his aesthetic. Rounding out Hot Lunch are guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:4Q3T3rgrHKbqZtSOz8HzRt">Aaron Nudelman</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:58lQYKHylrFHj6VrCsqpB6">Men's Club</a>), bassist Charlie Karr (Harold Ray Live in Concert), and drummer Rob Alper (SLA, <a href="spotify:artist:3WkyVArV4NqBLeIfm6nDGj">the Fells</a>). The group began honing its heavy punk 'n' roll sound, frequently gigging with other like-minded skate-rock bands before catching the attention of New York's <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Tee+Pee+Records%22">Tee Pee Records</a>, which released Hot Lunch's self-titled debut in 2013. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
