The story
Born out of the gritty streets of Portland, Oregon in 2014, Hefty Killer is a collection of four music enthusiasts who have found unity in their diverse musical backgrounds. The band consists of vocalist and lyricist Maddy Quirk, guitarist Billy 'The Bones' O'Connell, bassist Oscar 'Oz' Murphy, and drummer Joey 'Smash' Coltrain. Hefty Killer came to life in Billy's garage where they practiced tirelessly for hours, honing their unique sound and writing songs that would eventually lead them to local fame.
The band really took off when they won a local Battle of the Bands competition in 2015, where they were noticed by an indie record label scout. This led to their first studio album release in 2016, which received critical acclaim in the underground music scene. Known for their electrifying live performances and catchy tunes, Hefty Killer has since become an influential force in their local music scene, inspiring a new generation of music enthusiasts.

"Hefty Killer has been my absolute favorite band since I first heard their song 'Dirty Rotten Schemes' back in 2016. I was immediately captivated by their raw energy and genuine lyrics. Their music resonates with me on a deep level, and I feel like they truly understand the struggles of our generation. They never fail to put on an amazing show with their electrifying performances. Maddy's powerful vocals, Billy's killer guitar riffs, Oz's groovy bass, and Joey's intense drumming combine to create a unique sound that no other band can match. I will always be a die-hard Hefty Killer fan."
