Das Quintett um Gitarrist/Sänger William Turner und Sängerin Georgie Fuller ist selbstbewusst retro. The Heavy Heavy machen Rock'n'Roll in reinster Form, zeitlos interpretiert und voller Spielfreude.
Die Band aus Brighton trat an mit dem Ziel, "Platten aufzunehmen, die wie unsere eigenen Lieblingsplatten klingen". Der gemeinsame Nenner: Ein Mix aus Psychedelic und Blues Rock, dargereicht mit viel Reverb. Georgie Fuller singt dabei, als hätte sie den Blues schon als Baby mit Löffeln serviert bekommen. Die musikalischen Vorbilder der Band sind deutlich herauszuhören: die frühen Fleetwood Mac, die Stones, Led Zeppelin, 60s-Pop und britischer Folk Pop.
William Turner kommt aus dem Städtchen Malvern, einem verwunschenen Heilbad im Westen Englands, wo sich früher auch Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin und Kate Bush die Klinke in die Hand gegeben haben sollen - in der Romantisierung der keltischen Vergangenheit Englands mit all seinen Druiden und Zauberern. Georgie Fuller wiederum hat einen Jazz-Hintergrund und sang schon als Teenagerin beim Montreux Jazz Festival. Seit die Combo zum Quintett gewachsen ist, ist eine große Menge an Songs entstanden und aufgenommen worden, die nur darauf wartet, entdeckt zu werden.

Who else has become hooked on the heavy heavy?

[@mevrams]

These guys are great. Love the retro sound.

[@RealWickedTunes]

My generations bands can rest easy now. Rock and Roll is in VERY VERY GOOD hands.

[@RealWickedTunes]

Whoa! Man Of The Hills just cooks, good lord she has some pipes! A voice for the ages.

[@kthaddeus6097]

Saw them last night. This band is fantastic.

[@user-nd2hg1rd5t]

I’ve watched them twice now live and they always blow me away..Genuine rock n roll

[@user-jk4xh1qm7p]

I saw them at Mile of Music in Appleton Wi USA in August and I can’t stop listening to them. They write and perform nothing but awesome soul stirring songs.

[@flybenfold]

OMG, just saw them last weekend at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island. They blew us all away, what a revelation. I’m from UK and these guys are definitely now on my radar, would love to see them again on their home turf !! I love the 60’s Laurel Canyon vibe, so these guys definitely get my vote !! ❤🎸😎

[@RealWickedTunes]

Absolute chills down my spine, and they look like 1972 (a good thing) been way to long.

[@patrickmurdock8201]

The BBC should be ashamed, a band of this quality not even played on the airwaves,. shame on them

[@songpickr]

Excellent show!!!

[@MartialBessou-jm9rh]

Love them
Thanks from France

[@tracysaras6880]

They are coming to Chicago in August! Can't wait

[@stayathome2]

Two great voices out front with seamless backing vocals. And the songwriting isn't too shabby, either.

[@lifeeventslegalplan]

I defy anyone to put them in a box... nothing but blue skies ahead. Fantastic

[@jukeboxjohnnie]

This is really good, never seen them before. Credit to beardy guy with the hair a cool look 🙂

[@Roboterize]

Love it.

[@DParks-60]

I am so glad these guys quit using their forced distortion and blown out mic effects. They sound so good on this video it's just mind-blowing. A thousand percent better than their early videos. You've got a fan here that's for sure.

[@andreasmetzner2005]

Awesome band saw you in Toronto @History

[@farzelhaar]

Miraculous. Please come back to Sweden soon.

[@US-rq1kx]

🥰👍👍👍👍👍

[@felixfox8810]

The singer sounds a bit like Janis Joplin at times, right?

[@RegnaSaturna]

Right. And Mama Cas and Michelle Philips at the same time.

[@beback_]

She's got more of an R&B vibe imo

[@bennyk.666]

Ja fein. Danke 👍🏻

[@jddee8791]

Freakin’ amazing band

[@sinusiridum551]

Bravi !

[@patrickmurdock8201]

[@cobyporschifer221]

Should be call "The weak weak"

[@denbones1234]

There’s always one
