"We called the record Such Hot Blood because they're hot-blooded songs and we just wanted to be upfront about that," singer Mikel Jollett told Radio.com in an exclusive interview.

"From day one, the idea with the Airborne Toxic Event was to not be disinterested," he elaborated. "We'd all been in bands before where you stare at your feet and you wear a certain kind of jacket and try to look cool."

In stark contrast, Jollett said that Airborne Toxic Event's wildly diverse sound is borne from the band's determination to stay true to what's in their collective heart.
