Heavy Midgets

“. . . the distorted melodies that shape the choruses of Heavy Midgets’ songs are what really make them stand out. Side-ender “Safe On Your Mountaintop” is particularly noteworthy in this respect, as McCarthy’s vocals and McQuary’s guitar leads start out pleasant and build over the course of the song’s three-and-a-half minute length. . . to a dramatic climax that’s equally driven by loud, feedback-laced guitar and high, clear vocal melodies. The contrast captured at this moment demonstrates exactly what separates Heavy Midgets from the guitar-pop masses.” – Andrew Necci - RVA Magazine

“. . . they’ve done much over the past year to impress this city with their unique blend of psychedelic pop euphoria. . . . they received widespread notice as one of the new bands to watch in Richmond. . . . Bands like Heavy Midgets are a very positive indicator of the future of Richmond music. This group of ambitious thinkers defy the stereotype of a young generation that is lazy and lacking drive. Heavy Midgets are one of the most promising treats that the RVA scene has to offer.” – Shannon Cleary - RVA Magazine

“. . . every day after I’d gotten an e-mail came from (Heavy Midgets), I’ve listened to this damned awesome EP from the Richmond, VA upstart at least once. . . . damn it all if these guys don’t know how to write a catchy tune and execute with some real honest passion and integrity. It’s real rock’n'roll, remember that stuff? . . . . one of the most exciting new rock bands of 2012. . . . the honesty of the songwriting that breaks its way into your eardrums and finds the connective vessels to your damn HEART. . . . just doing what they know how to do and doing it exactly right.” – Crawf - Tome to the Weather Machine
