HEAVY PETTIN’ – Rock Generation (2025) *HQ*
Scottish warriors HEAVY PETTIN’ return to reclaim their rightful rock ’n’ roll turf with brand new studio album ”Rock Generation” via Silver Lining Music. Vocalist and founding member, Stephen “Hamie” Hayman comments: “Heavy Pettin’ are back! Rock Generation is a celebration for all rock fans around the world… Made to ROCK ur Soul.”
Listening to Heavy Pettin’s first new studio album since 1989 feels more like a 30 week’ hiatus augmented by a supreme confidence. Led by founding frontman “Hamie” Hayman, featuring Dave “Davo” Aitken and Richie “St. James” Dews on guitars and backing vocals, plus David “Boycee” Boyce on bass and Mick “The Wizard” Ivory on drums, ”Rock Generation” is a sonically-superb, classic song-strong rock ‘n’ roll return to that glorious slipstream between Def Leppard, Whitesnake and Thin Lizzy.
The ten cuts bristle with full-frontal attitude and powerful melodies. Take the title track, with its hip swinging anthemic swagger, there’s “Oblivion” with guest vocals from Roni Lee which carries a true Celtic swing in its groove plus an addictive singalong chorus, while “X-Rated” fuses the attitude of Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street with the punch and panache of the Sunset Strip.
Made in Glasgow at Morsecode Studios and produced with a timeless sheen by Ciarán O’Shea, make no mistake, ”Rock Generation” is only interested in bringing you on a thrill-ride through the carefree sweat and leather landscape of cut-loose heavy rock ‘n’ roll. It’s a mission which will demand -and receive- your willing acquiescence.
