Showing off their love for American honky tonk and the '50s rock & roll of <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Sun+Records%22">Sun Records</a>, the Hot Shots gave tribute to this sound throughout their home country of Japan. Their brand of old-school rockabilly and swank female vocals (courtesy of Chie Comeda) not only led to a huge local following -- even before the swing revival of 1998 -- but also prompted coverage in the V/Search Publishing book Swing! The New Retro Renaissance, where they shared the pages with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:6ROyXB8NDG0fA78S46JdTB">Big Bad Voodoo Daddy</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:1xPJUnlSWLJHXch33w1Ljj">Royal Crown Revue</a>. With all this attention, it wasn't long before American ears were turned on to the Hot Shots thanks in part to <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Dionysus+Records%22">Dionysus Records</a>, which released their debut, Wise Up, Watch Out, in 1999. ~ Mike DaRonco, Rovi
