heavy on the heart.

Hailing from Long Island, NY, heavy on the heart. is a rising force in the alternative rock scene.
Blending emotionally charged lyrics with infectious hooks and raw energy. Drawing inspiration
from the golden era of 2000s emo, pop-punk and alternative rock, the band creates a sound
that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly new. A sonic bridge between heartbreak and hope.

Formed by vocalist Nikki Wilmes and guitarist Costas Themistocleous in 2021, followed by
drummer Nick Kolokathis and Andrew Nicolae joining in 2022, the band quickly carved out their
identity for emotionally raw songwriting delivered by their explosive live shows. Their sound is a
dynamic fusion of soaring melodies, gritty guitars, anthemic choruses, wrapped in the kind of
vulnerability that invites listeners to scream along, cry it out or both.

Music for the beautifully broken.
