History
Drummer Jared Mullins moved from Cleveland, Ohio to San Diego and began posting ads on Craigslist looking for a bass player. Joe Brooks responded. After Jared switched from playing drums to playing guitar and singing, the two formed Heavy Glow along with drummer Dave Rollans. At this time Mullins also began doing in-studio guitar tech work in Los Angeles. A chance meeting landed a role as guitar tech for Stevie Salas during recording sessions for Justin Timberlake and T.I. After hearing early demos Stevie Salas brought the band to Matt Sorum's private studio in Los Angeles to produce the band's first EP. The band shortly thereafter signed to Australian record label StockXChange Music Group/Sony Australia. FOX’s television series The Good Guys used the track “Grinning in the Dark” in its second episode.
StockXChange Music unexpectedly disbanded in early 2010 without compensating the band for EP sales. The band then independently recorded "The Filth & The Fury" in one, six-hour live studio recording session. Classic Rock Magazine UK distributed the song “Hot Mess” in a sampler CD for its July issue. The Filth & The Fury was nominated for Best Rock Album of the Year at the 2010 San Diego Music Awards. After which time Mullins became a part-time spokesperson for RockStar Solos and did a promotional video with Stevie Salas and Ron Blair.
In 2011 the band released their debut album Midnight Moan. In 2012 the band recorded a follow-up album with producers Michael Patterson Production Credits and Nic Jodoin. In July 2013, CBS used "Headhunter" in the second episode of the Stephen King series "Under The Dome." The band's follow-up album, Pearls and Swine and Everything Fine, was released in 2014. The band released a music video featuring Mayra Leal of the Robert Rodriguez movie Machete (film)
In January 2017 the band recorded an album with Ian Davenport (Radiohead, Band of Skulls, Supergrass) at Courtyard Studios in Oxfordshire, England. The album is as of yet untitled and awaiting a release date.
