Info for Heavy Shoes

Their story alone would be enough for a drama series – cancer, suicide, betrayal, divorce, loss, self-identity crisis, survival, and ancestral skeletons. Write about what you know, they say.

There's a richness running through the songs with dark, multi-layered narratives that course through every twist and turn. Dirty fuzzed-up rock and roll meet blues, garage, desert rock and a Southern Gothic sensibility. Sombre storytelling is etched into their songs with unflinching honesty. For Chris Tapp and Brian Mullins, authenticity is their hallmark.

Recorded largely at Sam Phillips Recording Studio, Memphis - with the remaining at their studio in Indiana - this Memphis vibe has seeped into the record. How could it not – the music, the history, the people, the Mississippi river. Mixed by Mark Needham (The Killers) and mastered by Andy Vandette (Beastie Boys/Smashing Pumpkins), Heavy Shoes is their heaviest record yet.

"Through actively listening and seeking to feel this album in its entirety, one will come to realize the great spontaneity, wit, drive, passion and energy the duet of Tapp and Mullins have, and the magical bond that is their friendship. This record is quite a tremendous achievement of great songwriting and musicianship, an endearing look into the world of classic blues and should not be missed this summer."
