The Heavy Heavy Release Expanded Version Of Debut EP, ‘Life And Life Only’

ATO Records has introduced The Heavy Heavy, a Brighton, UK-based band led by Will Turner and Georgie Fuller. The group warps time and place through an unfettered collision of rock n roll, psychedelic blues, acid rock, and sunshine pop. The group has just released an expanded edition of their debut, Life and Life Only EP.

Across their debut, the group breathes incandescent new energy into sounds from decades ago, transcending eras with euphoric ease as they tap into musical touchstones that range from folk-blues duo Delaney & Bonnie, Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac, and British Invasion acts like The Hollies, to a sonic alchemy all their own.

Full of effusive harmonies and fuzzed-out guitar on tracks like the whirlwind road trip of “Miles and Miles,” the near-operatic epic of “Sleeping on Grassy Ground,” the rapturous opening of “All My Dreams,” and “Go Down River,” the first song they ever recorded together, Life and Life Only pulls listeners into a sublime fugue state, leaving one newly awakened to infinite possibilities.

The expanded Life and Life Only is now available on all digital platforms via ATO Records, including remastered versions of the EP’s original five songs, plus the previously unreleased “Why Don’t You Call?,” a single edit of “Miles and Miles,” unseen artwork, and more.

The band has also released new music video for “Miles and Miles,” filmed in Brighton. The visual sees The Heavy Heavy hitchhike through the pastoral type of countryside their music evokes, in between roaring sets at the rock clubs they continue to frequent across the UK.

While The Heavy Heavy self-produced Life and Life Only in a London flat, the music begs to be blared across the festival fields they will soon be playing. Channeling the enchanted energy of Will Turner’s Malvern homeland—a stretch of England famous for the healing qualities of its water, and ancient trees where the Druids used to worship—songs like “Man of the Hills” prove a transportive power they are about to bring on the road this fall.

Luke Combs has added second nights to his upcoming ” World Tour” stadium shows in Tampa, Charlotte, Foxborough and Philadelphia due to overwhelming demand.

Tickets for the new dates at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium (July 7), Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium (July 14), Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium (July 21) and Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field (July 28) will be available for pre-sale starting June 8 at 12 p.m. local time through Ticketmaster Verified Fan. General sales will follow June 9, and Combs’ official fan club, The Bootleggers, will have early access to tickets through Ticketmaster Verified Fan pre-sale starting June 8.

” After we got to play two shows in Nashville, I decided I wanted to play more shows for the fans, so I got with my team and the stadiums and luckily all of the July dates lined up for us, so we decide to just do it,” says Combs. “I’m really excited to be able to bring more music to more fans.”

The newly confirmed dates add to the huge success of Combs’ “World Tour,” which has sold over 570,500 tickets across just 11 stadium shows so far, with the majority of the tour still to come. With 44 shows across three continents and 16 countries, the tour is the largest ever for a country artist, earning Combs the No. 1 spot on Pollstar‘s Live75 chart, where he has more than doubled all other charting artists.
