Songs from miscellaneous projects that do not have better homes online

The Dark/Heavy is a two-piece from Cornwall making noisy, rhythmic, politically awake rock and roll for people who refuse to look away. 

Built around guitar, voice, beats, bass and broken edges, the sound draws on punk sensibilities and our shared love of electronic and international music, shaped by the lives we have lived, and the world we will not tune out. We grew up together in Penzance, and found our way back with families, jobs, and a shared sense that the world is being dragged in the wrong direction.

We are dads, poets, romantics, and furious citizens. Our politics are left wing. We write about the things that hurt. From the corruption of our political class and the brutality of oligarchs, to the depravity unleashed on the people of Palestine, we try to face the world fully, and create work that honours and bears witness to the overwhelming suffering of the world. We have no illusions as to the extent of our ability to meaningfully alleviate this horror. But we will not keep quiet about it.

Our music is not only bleak. Like the world we seek to reflect, the work has humour in it, and a pulse you can move to. We make songs to shout with, dance with, argue with, and have fun with. We believe in noise as resistance, rhythm as connection, and pure human joy as a form of defiance.

The world is dark and heavy, but so are we.
