Heavy Chest was started as a solo project by Andre Smith in 2017, but since the first solo shows in Wellington, the band has evolved into a dreamy three-piece live experience. The release of debut album Pre Heat in 2017 marked a change in the lineup backed now by Josh Brown (drums) and Joseph Shepheard (bass), and since then the band have put together an impressive catalogue of live shows and sonic releases.

April 2020 saw Heavy Chest take to the road with their new EP Zoom&Enhance to traverse width and breadth of this beloved Aotearoa, on their most expansive national tour to date.
