          Richmond, Virginia band Heavy Midgets were formed in 2011. After a series of line-up changes the band has settled in with members Charlanne McCarthy (vocals/guitar/bass), John Graham (vocals/guitar/bass), Ian McQuary (lead guitar/backup vocals) and Bren Hall (drums). Cutting their teeth playing house shows in and around Virginia, it wasn’t long until the band began filling the local clubs and venues with regularity. Their sound is difficult to pigeon-hole, bringing together many different elements ranging from power-pop, post-punk, pyschelic, goth, surf, garage and lo-fi. The resulting sound is one that is uniquely theirs and has earned them a diverse but dedicated fan-base.

          The unsigned band has released a 6-song EP titled Something Terrible and contributed 8 songs for the split LP Sisters with Richmond band TUNGS. Both were produced and distributed by Richmond label Bad Grrrl Records in 2012. The band is currently putting their final touches on a yet-to-be titled 12-song full length album, recorded by ‘Eyeball’ Jenkins, which is due to be released in the Fall of 2013.
