Bristol punk/noise rock quartet HEAVY LUNGS are today proud to release their long-awaited debut album, All Gas No Brakes, which is out now via Alcopop! Records on acid green limited edition signed vinyl, and available to stream on all good platforms.

On finally releasing their much anticipated debut, the band said: “Today is the day, what more can we say. All Gas No Brakes is out on all platforms for all of you to enjoy. We are deeply proud of this record—it’s taken us enough time but we are finally here and it’s yours. We’re overwhelmed by numerous emotions so won’t get into that now. Instead, get into this LP and blast it loud as hell. We love you loads, thank you for sticking with us! Sincerely yours, Danny, Oli, James and George xoxo”

To celebrate the release, the band’s new single ‘Plagiarism’ is also out now following a first spin from Steve Lamacq on BBC 6music's New Music Fix, and comes ahead of the band’s October 2023 album headline tour dates in support of the album, with tickets on sale now (see below for listings).

Commenting on the song, front man and vocalist Danny Nedelko says: “People say there are no original ideas left. Well, we are proving them wrong with tongue and cheek commentary about stealing intellectual property. It's never been done before. We're pretty sure it's never been done before. We're 79% sure.”

Recorded at Holy Mountain Studios with additional production at Humm Studios by producer Chris Fullard and assistant engineer Stanley Gravett, debut album All Gas No Brakes was mastered by Adam Gonsalves at Telegraph Audio.

Across the record—and especially on singles ‘Dancing Man’, ‘All Gas No Brakes’, ‘Head Tilter’, and ‘Plagiarism’—the band examine topics of anxiety, guilt, and mental health, but they’re never too far away from that healthy dose of Heavy Lungs humour. Be it redefining plagiarism and really making it their own, or musing on the inevitability of growing old and uncool, there’s a sense of mischief throughout.

The new track follows on from early singles ‘Dancing Man’, ‘All Gas No Brakes’ and ‘Head Tilter’ which were released earlier this year to a wave of enthusiastic support from Steve Lamacq at BBC 6music, DIY Magazine, DORK, UPSET, CLUNK Magazine, NARC Magazine and more, with the band recently playing a BBC 6music live session for Deb Grant & Tom Ravenscroft.

The band are also racking up an ever-increasing list of DSP support from Spotify including spots on high profile playlists including Post Punk, All New Punk, New In Rock, ASAP Rock, as well as Apple Music’s Matt Wilkinson's Playlist, and TIDAL’s Indie Britain.

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.
