Bristol punk/noise rock quartet HEAVY LUNGS are delighted to announce that their long-awaited debut album, All Gas No Brakes, will be released on 29th September 2023 via Alcopop! Records on acid green limited edition signed vinyl.

Recorded at Holy Mountain Studios with additional production at Humm Studios by producer Chris Fullard and assistant engineer Stanley Gravett, the album was mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Audio.

Of the news, the band say: “Well, well, well… they said it couldn’t be done, but look what just kicked you in the ass. Our debut album is coming out. It’s a dancer and it’s a prancer, and hopefully it’s a life enhancer.
We recorded it way back in 2021 with head wizard, Wiz, and his jester Stan for some extra magic and spice, and it’s been a long old wait, but only another 3 months and it’s yours!”

Serving as a flavour of things to come, the band have also released an official video for new single and album title track ‘All Gas No Brakes’, which is out now on all good streaming platforms. Commenting on the song, front man and vocalist Danny Nedelko says: “This high-octane, dance floor firecracker is all about giving it absolute beans. It’s about knowing you are the big cheese. You’re the main course.”
 
The official video was directed by good friends Holding Hands With Horses. “It’s a ‘70s B-movie, Paul Thomas Anderson-inspired depiction of a roller disco gone full Twin Peaks,” say the band of the visuals. “You are seriously in for a wild ride. 69% on Rotten Potatoes. The rewatchability of this one is off the scale. Let’s goooooo.”

The new track follows on from lead single ‘Dancing Man’ which was released earlier this spring to a wave of enthusiastic support from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6music, DIY Magazine, DORK, UPSET, CLUNK Magazine and more.

Alongside the album and single, the band are pleased to announce a run of October 2023 album headline tour dates, and will also be appearing at this year’s TRUCK Festival. Tickets for the tour go on sale 10am, Friday 16th June - see below for listings.

“Ah yes the life affirming smell of service station Greggs,” say the band of the upcoming tour dates, “the casino bit you never go in, the numb buttocks of the long late night drives, the longing glances exchanged with strangers in McDonalds queue, gallons of van temperature piss, the cathartic bliss of performing, olympic loads ins, disco loadouts, green rooms, blue mondays, the warm embrace of the fans. In other words: perfection we cannot wait to experience again. Brazil will have to wait but the lucky residents of the cities below are in for the grandest show on earth—Heavy Lungs live and uncut.”

HEAVY LUNGS will be revealing new music, details of the album, and further live dates over the coming months.

More about HEAVY LUNGS:
Formed during the early days of summer 2017, Heavy Lungs can’t help feeling like a product of their Bristolian environment. “Living here, it's hard not to see the scars the city can leave,” says drummer George Garratt. “Like burning your bare leg skin on the exhaust of a motorbike—inconvenient and painful, but not without its equal share of humour and self reflection.”

Quickly writing and recording an EP and playing their first show within months of forming, they have been a band hungry from the off. Honing their craft and forging their tight bond as a unit, the quartet have gone from strength to strength over the past few years, even through the global pandemic. Incidentally, if their frontman’s name seems oddly familiar it might be because the Ukrainian-born vocalist is the titular subject of IDLES hit ‘Danny Nedelko’.

If you’re wondering what being a part of HEAVY LUNGS’ particular gang is like, they describe it as “something similar to dating three people at the same time. Daunting, exhausting, but not without some very serious privileges. We share a lot of mutual friends, interests, hates, postcodes, dietary restrictions, debts, UBERs, dreams/nightmares, vices and daddy issues.”

Hand-picked by French photographer and grand couturier Hedi Slimane for CELINE's 'Portrait of a Performer' series with Esquire Magazine, Nedelko and the band have also collaborated with a range of high profile brands including Fred Perry and Jägermeister.

Touring extensively across the UK and Europe, with three EPs released so far, HEAVY LUNGS are only just getting started with their plans for world domination. Attracting significant radio play, with fans already including Steve Lamacq and Iggy Pop at BBC 6music, and sharing stages with the likes of METZ, Thee Oh Sees, IDLES, JOHN, CROWS, and DITZ, the band have always been in good company.
