“The sonic equivalent of driving a beat-up van down a dirt road in outer space.”
Heavy On The Ride are a four-piece rock band from the south of Wales (UK). Built on solid riffs and shimmering melody, the band drive heavy grooves across expansive soundscapes, travelling through a melancholic world of rhythm and melody.
Inspired by bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age, Mastodon, Baroness and (the) Melvins, the Welsh quartet have relentlessly honed their craft by shaking stages across the UK with their significant, signature sound.
Their self-titled debut album, released July 24th, 2026, has barbed-wire swagger, cloud-busting harmonies and unapologetic riff-driven rock n’ roll.
From the one-two punch of opener »On Deaf Ears« to the pensive euphoria of closing track »Catharsis«, it’s a confident statement of intent from a band with its foot on the gas.

Heavy On The Ride comments: “One month of our self-titled album.
Still strange to refer to it in the past tense. But every step to get it out in the wild, hammering through speakers, was worth it.
We hugely appreciate you all taking the time to listen and let us know what you think. It’s been super rewarding to (finally) let the cat out the bag.
Won’t take us 17 years to release something new – promise.”
