Hotspur, named “New Artist of the Year” by the Washington Area Music Assoc.- DC, recently released their second full-length album titled, “You Should Know Better By Now”, was produced by Bryan Russell (Envy On The Coast, Straylight Run) and mixed by Paul Leavitt (All Time Low, Senses Fail). 2010- Hotspur's second single “Heads/Tails” is currently featured on MTV.com and rotation on MtvU. The video can also be seen on 'FUSE On Demand', and 100 video outlets nationwide. In October 2009, Hotspur won the nationwide fan vote on MTV’s mtvU program, “The Freshmen”, for the video, “Chandelier”, defeating competition from major-label artists across several genres of music. As a result, this video was placed in mtvU’s regular rotation for the Fall. MTV.com deemed the band, “buzzworthy”, and recommended that viewers “keep them on your radar.” In addition, the “Chandelier” single has received strong support on a number of East Coast rock radio stations. Hotspur was also selected for Taco Bell's “Feed the Beat” marketing program, along with notable acts as All-American Rejects, Boys Like Girls, and Owl City. Hotspur has been on tour since the album’s July release, supporting such artists as Boys Like Girls and Metro Station. The tour continues into 2010, including a December tour with recent RCA-signees, 2 AM Club. Hotspur performed at SXSW, and headlines major concert venues which include DC's prestigious 9:30 Club, and Rams Head Live - Baltimore MD. Trailblazing indie magazine
