Backstory:
Heavy Pot originated in the vibrant underbelly of Seattle’s grunge scene, back in the late 90s. The band – comprising of the charismatic lead vocalist Alex “Lex” Lawson, the electrifying guitarist “Smoky” Joe, the rhythm machine drummer Benny “Beat” Jackson, and the spirit of the band, bassist “Melody” Mike – was born in a shared flat above a record store. While enduring part-time jobs and gathering pennies, they managed to save up and buy their first instruments. As a tribute to their love for vintage rock and their bohemian lifestyle, they named their band Heavy Pot.
Their breakthrough came when they were spotted by a local radio DJ at an underground gig, who was blown away by their unique, heavy sound and raw energy. From dingy basement venues to renowned music festivals, Heavy Pot carried their signature sound with a rebellious spirit, capturing the hearts and minds of an entire generation.
Genre:
Heavy Pot’s music is best described as Stoner Rock meets Psychedelic Blues.

“Burning Bridges”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Am
Stepping out on the ashes tonight,
Em
No looking back, no fright,
G
Under the neon light,
D
Feels like I’m taking a flight.
(Chorus)
Am
Burning bridges, yeah, we’re burning bridges,
Em
In the fire, look how the night twitches,
G
Leaving behind all the riches,
D
Burning bridges, yeah, we’re burning bridges.
(Verse 2)
Am
Down the road where the past lays,
Em
We’re setting all the arrays,
G
Underneath the starry gaze,
D
In the blaze, we’re lost in a daze.
(Chorus)
Am
Burning bridges, yeah, we’re burning bridges,
Em
In the fire, look at the rising pitches,
G
Leaving behind all the glitches,
D
Burning bridges, yeah, we’re burning bridges.
(Outro)
Am
In the end, it’s all about the journey,
Em
Through the smoke, the vision is blurry,
G
Burning bridges, with no worry,
D
This is life, in all its glory.
