The Heavyist

Welcome back everyone to another lovely episode, this week we partake in our inaugural episode of our new feature "Hot Riff Time Machine" where we look back at a year in musical history and chat about some of the albums we loved from that year we decided to look at 2011 as our first foray - this was picked completely randomly but worked out pretty well as it was actually the year that Sonny and Gary became best friends! we looked at 3 albums that we each loved from that year, a couple of records we hated, Sonny found a VERY strange record from that year and then we also took suggestions from the lovely folks over in the Discord if you want to be part of the fun for the next episode maybe join the Discord! and if you wanna support the show follow us on one of the many annoying and stupid social media platforms that exist or hit subscribe on your podcast catcher of choice (or check out our Youtube page which is currently a bit on the dormant side but will be re-invigorated soon!) thanks, love you all x Join the Discord!
