Heavy Heart are an alternative rock band, formed in 2014 in London, UK. They are notable for having recorded and released a new song every month throughout 2016, with all songs appearing on their debut release, Keepsake.

History

Heavy Heart was initially formed at the start of 2014 in south-east London as a three-piece by Anna Vincent (vocals, guitar), James Vincent (guitar) and Patrick Fitzroy (guitar). They expanded the line-up later that year with the addition of Adam Williams (bass guitar) and Craig Brown (drums).[1]

The band self-released a demo cassette tape in 2014, following this in 2016 with a project which involved writing, recording and releasing a new song online every month throughout the year. All twelve songs formed a full-length vinyl collection titled "Keepsake" which was released in March 2017 by London based independent record label, I Can & I Will.

Heavy Heart appeared live at 2015's CMJ Music Marathon in New York City, also performing at MBC Fest in Valencia, Spain and Truck Festival in Oxford, UK.

The band have received radio support from Tom Robinson at BBC Radio 6 Music, Gary Crowley at BBC Radio London and Charlie Ashcroft at Amazing Radio in the UK, as well as in the USA on WMFO (Medford, MA), DKFM (Fresno, CA), 913 The Summit (Akron, OH), WJCU (Cleveland, OH), 106.1 The Corner (Charlottesville, VA), and WVPB (Charleston, WV).

Their music was described by NME as "a graceful and rewarding listen"[2] and by The Line of Best Fit as "lush alt-rock",[3] whilst The Revue included the band in their Artists to Watch in 2017 feature, saying they had "an intoxicating rock formula with a 90s slant".[4]
