HOT SHÖT, a supergroup comprising musicians from DANGEROUS TOYS, Machine Head, Dirty Looks and other established metal bands, has completed its self-titled debut album for release via Kenyon Records. The project reunites veteran rockers in a significant collaboration that honours the legacy of Dirty Looks, whose original singer Henrik Ostergaard has passed away. The band features Jason McMaster on vocals, Paul Lidel and Dave Beeson on guitars, Dave McClain on drums, and Jack Pyers on bass.

The group emerged from a 2019 initiative to reunite and perform Dirty Looks' acclaimed 1988 album "Cool From The Wire", which they performed at Selinsgrove Speedway in Pennsylvania and released as a CD/DVD package. Hot Shöt previously issued the two-track EP "We'll Be Right Back" in May 2025, featuring the songs "Digging For Diamonds" and "Catwalk". The project initially scheduled performances that were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic but has since regrouped to complete the full album project.
