Erich Russek is the frontman and creative force behind the band Poets in Heat. He’s known for his distinctive talk-sing vocal style, which draws comparisons to artists like Lou Reed, Tom Waits, and Bob Dylan. His delivery blends spoken word, melody, and a narrative edge—often weaving surreal, poetic, or emotionally raw stories into the music.
Poets in Heat carries an artsy, underground vibe, often merging elements of rock, jazz, and avant-garde performance. Their sound is both theatrical and gritty, tapping into deep emotional currents and abstract imagery.
Russek’s lyrics are known to be cerebral, confessional, and sometimes darkly humorous—like beat poetry set to music, full of contradictions and strange beauty.
