Hotwire was an American rock band from Newbury Park, California.
Hotwire's members met at Newbury Park High School; after recording a few demos, they scored slots opening dates of bands, Will Haven, Strife, Hoobastank, and Audiovent but also garnered large support at the Troubadour in Los Angeles with an extended residency spanning 6 months. They signed with RCA Records in December 2000, they continued to tour taking slots supporting such diverse acts as Mogwai, Ben Harper, Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Björk, Darkest Hour, Bloodlet, Wu-Tang Clan, Poison The Well, Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Atreyu. They released a four-track EP in 2002 before issuing their full-length The Routine in the summer of 2003. They followed the release of the album with a slot on the Ozzfest tour that year as well as making time for the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan. A single from the album, "Not Today", was a hit on American rock radio, peaking at No. 40 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. The band broke up soon after the Ozzfest tour despite accumulating much new material but citing both mismanagement of funds by their management and personal reasons.
Gabriel, Rus and Brian are now under Coming Home Records and all participate in their projects. Gabriel owns Everyday Heaven recording studio.
