The Heavy Eyes

The Heavy Eyes are a formidable force within the independent rock scene, hailing from Memphis, Tennessee. Known for their blend of blues-infused heavy rock, psychedelic overtones, and a stoner rock vibe, the band established a sound that crosses traditional boundaries and appeals to a diverse audience. Founded in the early 2010s, The Heavy Eyes consist of Tripp Shumake (vocals, guitar), Wally Anderson (bass), and Eric Garcia (drums). Their raw power and soulful execution won them a dedicated following among fans of heavy, riff-driven rock.

With an impressive discography that speaks to the band’s creative evolution, The Heavy Eyes kicked off the decade with a set of hard-hitting records that solidified their place in the rock realm. Their self-titled debut, "Heavy Eyes," laid a solid foundation, followed by the well-received "2" and "Maera," which further honed their gritty yet melodic signature sound. "He Dreams of Lions" continued to build momentum and complexity in their works. The band's later releases, including 2020's "Love Like Machines," showcase a group unafraid to experiment with their sound while remaining true to their heavy rock roots. Tracks like "God Damn Wolf Man" and "Late Night" lean into the band's knack for storytelling with muscular riffs and memorable hooks, underscoring their reputation as torchbearers of contemporary rock. Their visceral energy is perhaps best captured in the live arena, as displayed by their album "Live in Memphis," affirming The Heavy Eyes are not just studio musicians but a phenomenal live act as well.
