Reviews
"Heavy Glow kick out a down and dirty, hard assed blues rock that listens to the echoes of the generations that have gone before but don’t shy away from throwing some more modern ingredients into their thick gumbo... Album of the year? Maybe, it’s certainly a contender and best of all, it’s a free download!!!"
-The Sleeping Shaman
Midnight Moan continues the tradition of the band's previous two efforts and contains some spectacular blues-oriented rock songs
-The Ripple Effect
There are strong elements of stoner rock here but the emphasis on songwriting and vocal lines really sets it apart from your usual giant riff cult.
-Shredder Net
A must for fans of more bluesy and psychedelic tinged rock.
-Metal Delirium
It runs over your ass like a train. Then it backs up and runs over it again.
-Berkeley Place
An undeniably good album that will impress time and time again.
-The Soda Shop
Right out of the gate Heavy Glow demonstrates their grasp of classic rock blues.
-The Music Court
The new full-length (Midnight Moan) continues to build on a blues-rock foundation, offering another punishing collection of guitar-fueled mayhem.
-San Diego City Beat
Steeped in psyche-soaked proto-metal, gutbucket garage rock and bone-deep 70s blooze.
-Classic Rock Magazine
Heavy Glow are not afraid to make it apparent who their influences are. But this is not a problem, since their management of these influences is exemplary. They are equally informed by sixties garage rock and more recent hard rock, and the combination proves to be a winner.
-Shout4music.com
World class rock drums, driving bass, catchy lyrics, and soulful vocals
-The Ripple Effect
Forget about knowing what year it is, Heavy Glow aren’t even sure what decade it is. With a sound that predates the filth and the fury of the punk revolution by some years, this is a glorious, wonderfully produced, psychedelic blast of blues-rock and it sounds amazing.
-Sonic Abuse
Throughout the 5 track extended play (The Filth & The Fury), the bass is sensual, the leads are blistering, and the drums have that tight snap and thundering crash that’s just perfect for this kind of rocking.

Midnight Moan Press Release
With one foot planted firmly in the psychedelic-blues-rock era and one stomping into the future, Heavy Glow presents Midnight Moan, its first full-length album.
The San Diego trio welds rock’s past to its present with blowtorch guitar riffs from Jared Mullins, powerful bass lines by Joe Brooks and inventive beats.
Two years in the making, Midnight Moan traces the evolution of the band’s songwriting into licks and lyrics that leave listeners humming, without losing the group’s trademark hard edge. The album makes room for three long jams and a showcase of guitarist Jared Mullins’ 12-string acoustic artistry.
Midnight Moan adds to the band’s catalog of previous EPs, the self-titled Heavy Glow from 2008 and The Filth and the Fury in 2009.
