Having released their debut LP and a string of singles, Heavy Salad released their second and third LP's, Long Wave l and Long Wave ll in April 2024.

Taking inspiration from their love of long sprawling albums, band favourites like The Beatles White album, Beastie Boys Hello Nasty and Sandinista by The Clash, Long Wave Part’s 1 & 2 is very much Heavy Salad’s very own mixtape.
Heavy Salad have played notable festivals such as SXSW in Austin Texas, Manchester Psych Fest and Party in The Pews as well as successful headline UK tours.
