HEAVY ON THE RIDE play their first headline show in Swansea since 2016 and first hometown headline show with new drummer Sean Mahoney behind the kit.
With a blatant disrespect for specific genre tags, the band moves from different concoctions of Mastodon and Melvins styled downtuned grooves to a barrage of QOTSA influenced riffs.
"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
Sharing the stage are Darwen's very own dirty blues rockers SKY VALLEY MISTRESS. Having played the Download Festival and recently recorded their forthcoming album at the famous Rancho De La Luna with none other than Dave Catching (Eagles of Death metal / Queens of the Stone Age / Masters of Reality) SVM make their way down to Swansea for the first time.
The Blues Magazine - “SKY VALLEY MISTRESS mean business as they come swaggering out of Blackburn to set hips shaking and pulses racing with a blend of dirty blues and raw rock and roll”.
TeamRock - "Fronted by the formidable Kayley 'Hell Kitten' Davies, the quartet take their musical cues from Zeppelin, Sabbath and the meanest, low-down urban blues, to deliver bruising rock 'n' roll thrills."
Also on the bill are fellow welsh rockers FALLEN TEMPLES bringing their brand of classic rock and 70's inspired riffs and grooves to the stage.
