Love for Heavy Young Heathens "Ladies and Gentlemen: Heavy Young Heathens" feature on MTV.com "Heavy Young Heathens recently came to my attention with a new EP that is just fantastic." WXPN "I was amazed by their skill and that two brothers, Aron and Robert Mardo, could deliver so much intense, face-melting rock. Go see Heavy Young Heathens. They'll kick your ass." The Vice Network "Every once in a while I'm rewarded for my diligence with an album that rises above the relentless stream of mediocrity digitally flowing my way. Heavy Young Heathens' self-titled debut is an aggressive attack of rock and/or roll tinged with a dash of psych here and an amphetamine blues riff there." Tankboy “Who cares who the other bands are, just go see this band that's finally back from a long US tour, so their chops will be up.” Future Sounds “American Primal Scream vibe.” Future Sounds - Record of the Week Who are Heavy Young Heathens? Brothers Aron and Robert Mardo have been making music together in various incarnations practically their whole lives. Feeling change in the air, they decided to do things a little bit off the beaten path they had become accustomed to, and they decided to record as a duo of just bass and drums. What at first felt odd to them quickly turned in to something that was more familiar then they could imagine. Heavy Young Heathens was born right then and a few months later, a record was finished and a U.S. tour was booked. The album independently made it’s way to the Top Spot of the FMQB Specialty Radio charts, and songs “Sha La La La La” and “Drawn From Memory” both charted Top 5. Just recently, the song “Jackie Come Lately” has been selected as the main theme song for MTV’s Ultimate Parkour Challenge.

The pairing seemed to be the perfect match. Upon release in April of 2010, the 5-song e.p. debuted Top 5 on the FMQB Specialty Radio Charts and Top 20 on the Mediaguide Radio Charts.
