White Hot Peach is the second studio album by Primitive Radio Gods, released on October 24, 2000. Quite different in sound from their previous album Rocket , White Hot Peach features much less of the sampling that made the band famous. Most of the material from this album is from Mellotron On! , the album the band planned on releasing through Sire Records in 1999, but could not due to that label's bankruptcy.
