When You Witness English Teacher Live, It’s Easy to See The The Four-Piece Were Awarded The Mercury Prize Last Year. Their Set Takes You On A Journey Through Sound, Weaving From Spine-Tingling, Delicate Piano and Cello To Bone-Rattling Guitar Riffs and Drum Crescendos. IT’s Sharp, Tight and Completely Transcendent.

In the past few years they’ve been working on creating a sound that sets them apartment from the contemporaries, and with the relaase of their new single ‘MR. Famous’They’ve Done Just That. Heavy Lungs Could Have Stuck with The Post-Punk Sound But It Is Evident That They’re So Much More Than Just Another Post-Punk Band From Bristol. We are incredibly excited to see Heavy Lungs Live and Showcase The New Music and What Sems to Be New Found Confidenze in Themselves.
