Heavy Glow
“Mine All Mine”

heavyglow-mineCleveland’s Heavy Glow recently released a 7-inch single for “Mine All Mine,” a song that straddles the line between Soundgarden rumble and the sandblasted psychedelics of the Queens of the Stone Age. Singer Jared Mullins told Antimusic, “I wrote this song after touring an abandoned prison one day. The prison had been shut down for a while and had been notorious for housing capitol offenders, murderers, and the like. It was musty, dank and dark as the tour guide waltzed us through the warden’s chambers, kitchen area, etc. If only prison walls could talk… Well, they did. I noticed a lot of the individual cell walls had writing from prisoners carved into the walls. Very cryptic stuff, but it stuck with me. Crazy phrases etched in stone like ‘mine is all the wine that matters’ and other hair-brained rants of crazed madmen. I noticed almost all of the carvings were talking about the prisoners themselves and the light went off: most of these guys were self-obsessed. So the lyrics are all a collection of quotes and lines I remember reading on the walls of those prison cells.” Check the song out below.
