It coincides with the release of their 10th album &#8211; &#8216;<em>Vows&#8217;<\/em>. Having become an enduring pillar of American punk over the past three decades,\u00a0<strong>Hot Water Music<\/strong> has, in some shape or form, influenced a myriad of bands. Amongst them is <strong>Thrice<\/strong>. Recent single,\u00a0<em>&#8216;Fences&#8217;<\/em>, sees the Californian post-hardcore group team up with the\u00a0Gainesville, Florida greats.<\/p>\n<p>Together, they create a tight-knit, palpable number that captures\u00a0<strong>HWM<\/strong>&#8216;s heart-tugging emotion with <strong>Thrice<\/strong>&#8216;s angular musicianship. Backed by <em>&#8220;ooh ooh oohs&#8221;<\/em> and Chuck Ragan&#8217;s weathered vocals, it gives\u00a0<em>&#8216;Vows&#8217;<\/em> plenty of potential. Lyrically, it sees Ragan comment on how easy it can be to forget important things when they&#8217;re so much going on every day. <em>&#8220;One of the toughest things in life is remembering and recognising the importance of living in the moment,&#8221;\u00a0<\/em><strong>Hot Water Music<\/strong> commented. <em>&#8220;With so many distractions in our day-to-day lives, it becomes easy to get lost in the noise of this society and lose focus of our true and present purpose.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Hot Water Music - Fences feat.
