Heavy on the Ride are a three piece experimental heavy rock band hailing from Swansea, Wales, UK.
With a blatant disrespect for genre tags the band moves from different concoctions of Mastodon and Melvins styled
downtuned grooves to a barrage of QOTSA influenced riffs.
Since forming in April of 2009 the band have released
their well received debut EP titled Delaying the Inevitable and are now
about to take the road on a debut UK DIY tour to support their follow
up EP"Different Animals"
The band has played with members of
QOTSA/Eagles of Death Metal (Nick Oliveri, Joey Castillo, Dave Catching,
Gene Trautmann), The Mars Volta (Ikey Owens), White Zombie (Sean
Yseult) and Japanese rock band Electric Eel Shock, as well as opening up
for rising acts such as Empress and Black Moth.
"They throw out riffs heavier than John Candy's coffin" - Gaz E, Uber Rock
"A full blown, conquering sound that packs less a punch, more a knockout blow"
- TB, The MMP
So turn the TV off, drop the baby to the grandparents for the night and
put on your favourite pair of dancing shoes as it's time to party like
it's 1999 ...again.
