BIO

Heavy Young Heathens are an American alternative indie rock duo made up of brothers Aron and Robert Mardo, who have been compared to UK rock band Primal Scream. Looking for a change in direction, the pair quickly started recording as just a duo of Bass and Drums after the dissolution of their last band. Out of necessity, the band was "Forced to forge the Do-it-Yourself path of record making, touring and merchandising". The duo claims the name Heavy Young Heathens comes from a neighbor's description of the brothers to the arresting police officer during a childhood run in with the law.

"There's a great crop of new young bands ready to explode out of LA and Heavy Young Heathens are right there with the best"
Nic Harcourt/Music Editor, The Los Angeles Times Magazine/KCRW Dj & former station music director

"Heavy Young Heathens recently came to my attention with a new EP that is just fantastic"
Bruce Warren/Music Director WXPN/Philadelphia

"I was amazed by their skill and that two brothers, Aron and Robert Mardo, could deliver so much intense, face-melting rock.  Go see Heavy Young Heathens.  They'll kick your ass."
