Heavy Lungs bring raw, loud and uncompromising energy to their shows taking influence from the rowdy and liberating gigs of the 80s and 90s. Rising brutally fast from the get-go, they have shared stages with comrades IDLES, The Oh Sees, METZ, JOHN and more.
The band are now touring their explosive, furiously fun and unique brand of punk extensively across the UK and Europe. Fresh off the back of their 2023 critically acclaimed debut album ‘All Gas No Brakes‘ released with Alcopop! records, they have gone on to receive significant attention from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Iggy Pop. Heavy Lungs is a rock’n’roll sandwich you didn’t know you needed, but now it’s in your lunchbox every day.
Tinnitus or a relentless earworm for days to come, a Heavy Lungs show is one to remember. ♫♪♪

‘Imagine going toe to toe with Minor Threat and early Black Flag, this is raw, uncompromising punk rock.’ – HMV
Supporting Heavy Lungs will be
The Silver Lines
Imagine wearing a scratchy hand knitted sweater and playing flat out rock n roll music in a stuffy, dilapidated English country cottage … well that’s what it’s like to be a Silver Line.
Formed by two brothers who were uninspired by the current landscape of guitar music, decided they were going to make music that turns them on.
Since meeting Kindo (drums) and George Vivian (bass) in 2019, they have consistently sold out their hometown gigs, have had plays on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 Music, Radio X and have played festivals from Europe to America.
Fast forward to 2024 and repulsed by the notion of being just another ‘all white male indie’ that sings of teenage love or rants empty pseudo prophetic quotes, The Silver Lines set out to release new music that defies the genre and the peers within it. The product is a very self aware form of songwriting that covers many taboo topics from toxic masculinity, learnt behaviours from past generations, and explores personal experiences that connect with the listener on a much deeper level. Their new EP, …And The Lord Don’t Think I Can Handle It, is out now. ♫♪♪
Desire Path
Desire Path are a modern alternative/shoegaze band based in Southampton defining their sound with immersive synthesiser sounds while keeping the pace with punk rock driven drums and surf rock guitars. ♫♪♪
