Heavy Lungs — (A Bit of a) Birthday
Played: 2026-09-10
Heavy Lungs are a Bristol, England band formed 2017: Danny Nedelko (vocals), George Garratt (guitar), James Minchall (bass), Jed Morgan (drums); signed to Balley Records. "(A Bit of a) Birthday" (3:15) is from the Double Stuffed EP, 2019, Balley Records. The band is name-checked in IDLES' "Danny Nedelko" — frontman Danny Nedelko is a close friend of IDLES frontman Joe Talbot, and IDLES wrote that song about him; playing Heavy Lungs straight after "Danny Nedelko" closes the loop on the reference. Heavy Lungs released their debut album All Gaunt and Dogged in 2023, followed by EPs on Balley Records, the label run by IDLES associates. The title reportedly refers to Nedelko's actual birthday celebration gone sideways.
