Cleveland, Ohio’s Heart and Lung are true veterans of the punk rock grind — a band that’s learned to turn life’s curveballs into fuel for their sound. While their songs often hint at the struggles of everyday life, they deliver them with a sense of joy and resilience that makes it clear they’re still having a blast doing what they love. The self-proclaimed “Midwestern power pop punk boy band” made a mark on the scene with their album Twistin’ The Knife Away back in 2021, and they show no signs of letting up anytime soon.
Heart and Lung will be playing Punx Can’t Laugh Fest on October 17 at the Bovine Sex Club in Toronto, Ontario along with Johanna Medranda, Debt Cemetery, Last Drag, Sixteen Scandals, Nick Fierro, and Jameson Cox. You can get tickets right here.
Punknews writer Mike B caught up with bassist and vocalist John and guitarist and vocalist Shannon to talk about their origin story, fun touring stories, Canadian influences, and so much more. Read the interview below!
