In early February 2014 Ryan Blake was playing guitar in a studio session and during one of the breaks the studio engineer began playing music from some past projects. It was during this time that Blake heard the vocals of Pat James for the first time and immediately contacted him to get together.
“I had known of Ryan Blake through the music scene, but Blake never knew that I was a musician as well. We talked about the band and what we were both looking to create and accomplish. Our goals and mind set completely matched up and we got started.” recalls Pat James. The two began writing songs which would later become the Devil’s Grin EP. While recording Devil’s Grin James and Blake were discussing the possible need for a female backing vocal on a couple of tracks and both simultaneously thought of mutual friend Jules Cardoso. “We brought her in for a couple songs, but she sounded so good singing with James that it was the obvious choice to have her on all of the tracks.” says Ryan. The Road Heavy quickly formed adding drummer Jeff Cox and Bassist Andre D’silva (BIG D) to the mix just before leaving on their first Canadian East Coast Tour with Gilby Clarke (Guns N Roses) The story is short and sweet. With their new self-titled EP, out February 18, 2017, they have been hard at work getting the new music ready for their fans and the whole experience has been extremely fulfilling. Working with producer Jeff Martin (The Tea Party) on this project and having his input and wisdom go into each song really helped the band to mature their sound. Their first single Human Condition, is about the mundane life most people live while they dream of what they would rather be doing but are too afraid to go after. The music video for Human Condition was produced by Aaron Alter Productions. The Road Heavy recently joined The Tea Party for 9 shows during their 20 Years of Transmission Canadian tour. They have been working hard to get this new music out to fans and are excited to finally be out on the road to share it with everyone.
