Heavy Seas Everything Breaks

With Jesus Lizard rhythms over melodies that channel early Sonic Youths\x27 more aggressive atmospheres, Chicago\-based Heavy Seas makes its debut this summer. Everything Breaks marks the first ten songs from singer\/guitarist Jeff Dean (All Eyes West, Dead Ending, The Bomb), drummer Ronnie DiCola (All Eyes West, The Arrivals) and bassist Katie Karpowicz (Airstream Futures).

Katie\x27s bass melodies, Ronnie\x27s incredible drumming pushing everything forward, and last but not least the fact that, after so many years as a guitarist with a distinctive sound and energy, Jeff has taken this big leap to become the singer as well. Maybe for that reason it feels like his most personal project. The record (as usual with Jeff\x27s bands) was a lot of fun to make, but as a friend I\x27m also proud of Jeff for putting himself on the line in this way, and it\x27s awesome to see the real friendships at the core of this band, as Katie and Ronnie really got
