Five-piece garage/blues rock band The Heavy North kicked off with a debut headline gig at Manchester's Night & Day Cafe in November 2018 alongside the release of debut singles "Don't You Wait For Me" & "The Night Don't Give No Love".

Recorded and released on 3rd Planet Recordings and mastered by Mike Marsh at The Exchange in Devon (credits include Nick Cave, Oasis, Kasabian, Chemical Brothers, The Libertines), the band's debut tracks were described as "a great contribution to Liverpool's rock scene" by GetIntoThis with The Heavy North's sound summed up as "dirty scuzzed-up dive bar blues".

Following a headline show at Liverpool's Jacaranda Phase One in February 2019, the band's track "Don't You Wait For Me" debuted on BBC Introducing Merseyside (16 Feb) with Dave Monks.
