Info :
Heaps are a collective hailing from the Kawartha Lakes in Ontario, bringing droney, ethereal, punchy art-rock, about time, change and privilege. What Is Heaps foundations were crafted in a series of escapes: suburban Halifax bedrooms, rural Quebecois disconnection, renovated Michigan church seclusion, and Dale Morningstar's Gas Station on Toronto Island.
Recorded at Union Sound with Leon Taheny (Fucked Up, Owen Pallett, Weaves) and James Bunton (Donovan Woods, For Esmé, Vivek Shraya), the result is an eclectic, rhythmically swelling collection of conversations and questions as observers in uncertainty.
In another lifetime, the band were known as The Kents. In that collective, they were featured in on Hockey Night In Canada, MLB's World Series, 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, Canada’s Walk Of Fame Emerging Artist and earned support from CBC and George Stroumboulopoulos. Through their travels, they shared stages with Sloan, The Sheepdogs, The Trews, The Strumbellas, and Hollerado. Their final release Within Waves elevated them beyond 5-million Spotify streams.
