Heavy Weather Capture Britpop Swagger On New Single ‘White Noise’
Scottish band Heavy Weather have released their new single 'White Noise', produced by Mark Morrow, who has previously worked with Swim School, Wrest and Fright Years.

They described the song as exploring the tension and fear present in today's world, alongside a desire to set that aside and appreciate what makes life worthwhile. It follows the band's efforts to translate their live energy into a studio recording.
