Tracks5
Urban Heat is a post-punk/darkwave trio from Austin, Texas, led by vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jonathan Horstmann and joined live by Kevin Naquin (synths/programming) and Paxel Foley (bass/samples). The band’s debut EP Wellness (Spaceflight Records, 2022) introduced their cinematic, synth-driven sound, while their 2024 full-length The Tower (Artoffact Records) cemented their reputation as one of Austin’s most compelling acts. That same year, they embarked on a European tour supporting Molchat Doma, bringing their high-voltage live show to new audiences abroad. Known for merging shadowy 80s atmospheres with modern urgency, Urban Heat has played major festivals including ACL, Cruel World, and Darker Waves. In 2025, they signed to Sumerian Records, marking the start of a new chapter that builds on their relentless touring, growing fanbase, and powerful stage presence.
