First song "Women's Jeans" out NOW

Steve Bays is a singer, songwriter, producer known for his effortlessly memorable hooks and electrifying stage presence. As the frontman of Hot Hot Heat, he was at the forefront of the 2000s indie-rock explosion, touring globally and cementing his status as a defining voice in modern rock.

Also a seasoned producer, co-writer, and collaborator, Bays is often referred to as a musical mad scientist, with work spanning across acclaimed artists and resonating beneath the surface of cult favorites, bridging the past and future of alternative music.

Now stepping into his own spotlight, Bays channels that same restless creativity—melding punchy, hi-fi indie pop with raw, unfiltered energy. His debut single, "Women’s Jeans," is the first glimpse into this next chapter. Bays is the kind of artist who tends to wander ahead, chasing the feeling of something yet to be named.
