Hot Snakes are back with their first single of the year "Checkmate".
"Checkmate" is the group's first single since reuniting last year to release their first album in 14 years, Jericho Sirens.
Hot Snakes' Rick Froberg says the new track is "big, fatty content freshly extruded from the Hot Snakes sausage machine. Same ingredients, new flav."
The new single will be available as a physical 7" on Hot Snakes' UK and Ireland tour next month with B-side "Not in Time".
Hot Snakes' "Checkmate" single is out now. They play The Garage in London on 12 December. Find out more.
