Heavy Lungs Live at Control Club Bucharest

On February 18, 2025, the walls of ctrl will shake as Heavy Lungs take the stage. This Bristol quartet has carved out a niche in the post-punk world with their ferocious sound and unapologetic attitude. Their live shows are a whirlwind of energy, with songs that channel chaos into catharsis. Heavy Lungs bring raw, loud and uncompromising energy to their shows taking influence from the rowdy and liberating gigs of the 80s and 90s. Rising brutally fast from the get-go, they have shared stages with comrades IDLES, The Oh Sees, METZ, JOHN and more. The band are now touring their explosive, furiously fun and unique brand of punk extensively across the UK and Europe. Fresh off the back of their 2023 critically acclaimed debut album 'All Gas No Brakes' released with Alcopop! records, they have gone on to receive significant attention from the likes of Steve Lamacq and Iggy Pop. Heavy Lungs is a rock'n'roll sandwich you didn't know you needed, but now it's in your lunchbox every day. Tinnitus or a relentless earworm for days to come, a Heavy Lungs show is one to remember. 'A real Whammerbanger!' - IGGY POP 'Biting powerful punk that seeing frontman Danny nedelko snarling' - DIY 'Chaotic brilliance, made up of tempestuous distortion and hellish wails' - Stereoboard 'Their music taps the same vital energy as the pioneering post-punk of Joy Division, rambunctious squall of Iceage, and uncompromising attitude of IDLES' – Bristol In Stereo 'Imagine going toe to toe with Minor Threat and early Black Flag, this is raw, uncompromising punk rock.' - HMV
