Heavy Lungs

Heavy Lungs is riffs turned into pure energy. Raw, loud, and uncompromising, drawing inspiration from the rowdy and liberating gigs of the ’80s and ’90s. From the very first note, they pull you into a punk storm you won’t want to escape.

Fronted by Danny Nedelko, the man immortalized in IDLES’ iconic song, Heavy Lungs have been winning over fans and critics alike since their 2023 debut All Gas No Brakes, earning praise from the likes of Iggy Pop and Steve Lamacq. They’ve shared the stage with IDLES, The Oh Sees, METZ, JOHN, and more.

Their shows? A deafening, unforgettable explosion of distortion, fury, and fun. Think tinnitus or an addictive earworm that sticks around for days, but above all, an experience you won’t want to miss on April 26 at Trix!

Stonks walks a tight line between nervous post-punk, shadowy noise, and deconstructed jazz. Creaks, saturated textures, and compositions where absurdity rubs up against anxiety. Something unstable, swinging between urgency and detachment, physical tension and blurry thoughts. A kind of nonchalance floating over something darker, like a smile hiding a cramp.

With 'Badger', their second EP released on EXAG’ Records, the band pushes this shifting sound further to gain intensity, to make bodies vibrate as much as nerves, stepping away from post-punk clichés by injecting movement, groove, momentum. No big speeches, just a clear urge to make noise that makes you move.
