The Hot Lies were an alternative rock band based in Australia. The band formed in Melbourne, in early 2004. Their line-up consisted of lead vocalist Wolfgang "nemo" Sapsford, rhythm guitarist Benjamin Pix, drummer Jared Brown, lead guitarist Luke Szabo and former I Killed the Prom Queen bassist Leaton Rose. The Hot Lies released two EPs and a full-length album, Ringing in the Sane (September 2007), which reached the top 40 on the ARIA Albums Chart.
The Hot Lies formed in early 2004 as an alternative rock band in Adelaide with three former members of The Killchoir Project: Jared Brown on drums, Benjamin Pix on rhythm guitar and Wolfgang Sapsford on lead vocals; they were joined by Leaton Rose (ex-I Killed the Prom Queen) on bass guitar and Josh Delsar (ex-Day of Contempt) on lead guitar. They released a nemo, "Bulletholes and Blacklines": it was home-recorded, and was put on high rotation by national radio broadcaster, Triple J, in March 2004.
In August 2004 they released an extended play, Streets Become Hallways, which spent 30+ weeks on the AIR Indie Charts, and later re-entered the charts at No. 17. The band toured supported Alexisonfire, After the Fall and 28 Days. Later the Hot Lies toured with Sum 41 and Yellowcard, and then with Good Charlotte and Kisschasy. Blunt magazine and Rolling Stone labelled them one of their bands to watch in 2005.
