Simmer in Your Hotseat is the debut album by Boston-based band The Main Drag, originally released on indie label Endless Recordings in 2004.

The album was self-recorded by Adam Arrigo while still in college, with assistance from Matt Levitt (violin and string arrangements) and contributions from various guest musicians.

During this time, Arrigo was employed full-time at a local mental hospital in Lynn, MA, where he led exercise and music groups for patients with schizophrenia, head injuries and other conditions.

[1] Endless Recordings, The Main Drag's label at the time, arranged for the band to open for Arcade Fire in November, 2004.

In 2005, a video was made for the song Famous Last Words,[2] starring Adam Arrigo, Cory Levitt, Nate Reticker-Flynn, and Tom Keidel.
