History

Heavy Lungs formed in Bristol in early 2017 through bassist James Minchall and vocalist Danny Nedelko.^[1]^[2] Nedelko and Minchall had worked together, and began recording music together, later recruiting local Bristol musicians, Oliver Southgate and George Garratt to round out the band.^[3] In 2018, the band released their debut extended play, Abstract Thoughts.

In late 2018, the lead singer became the subject of a song bearing his name, created by fellow Bristol-based band IDLES. They released the track "Danny Nedelko" as the lead single from their second album, Joy as an Act of Resistance.^[4]
