FORMED from the smouldering ashes of The Telermen, Heavy Rapids have quickly cemented their place amid Scotland’s rising contingent of rock ‘n’ roll outfits with a combination of rapturous live shows and high-octane material that lands at the bustling crossroads between punk and indie rock.
Set to play our very own Tenement Trail in just over two weeks time, the band have demonstrated growth and ambition on new single ‘Money Is Power.’
Striding into the world with a cocksure expression as its thrilling, post-punk indebted bassline kicks the doors down, their band’s latest single is laden with the brazen guitars, off-kilter vocals and ceaseless percussion that produces a sound which harbours nods towards the lineage of Britain’s finest 21st century rock ‘n’ roll bands including Arctic Monkeys and The Libertines. Expounding on the all-encompassing and manipulative nature of the pursuit of financial prosperity, the track’s riveting conclusion namechecks a number of Glasgow music scene institutions such as Control Social Club, The Priory and Baby Strange’s infamous Club Sabbath.
‘Money Is Power’ is available now whilst the band will perform at this year’s Tenement Trail on Public Records’ stage at the aforementioned Sauchiehall Street venue with tickets available now.
