Urban Heat releases new, extended, version of post-punk debut ‘Wellness’
Urban Heat releases extended version of well received post-punk debut 'Wellness'
The Texas-based post-punk act Urban Heat is to re-release its debut album “Wellness” in an extended version on CD. “Wellness” arrived after 2 self-released vinyl singles and digital-only releases.
This edition includes all the band’s original tracks, plus remixes, collaborations and b-sides. Below is the video for “Have You Ever?” to get an idea what this band is about sonically.
Urban Heat formed in 2019 when Jonathan Horstmann enlisted Kevin Naquin and Paxel Foley in an effort to form a live show based around his analog sound design. The band will now go on a month-long North American headlining tour dipping into Canada for shows in Toronto and Montreal before they return to the US.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
