Hey Colossus is an English rock band formed in London in 2003. Since its inception, the band has undergone several lineup changes, revolving around founding members Joe Thompson and Robert Davis.

The band is characterised by its ‘heavy’ sound, DIY ethic[1], prolific output[2], and stylistic experimentation.

History

Hey Colossus was formed by childhood friends Joe Thompson and Robert Davis in 2003[3], together with Ian Scanlon, Tim Hall and James Parker. Their debut album, Hey Colossus Hates You, was released on the band’s own Jonson Family label in 2004. They have since released a further ten studio albums and various splits, singles and EPs on a number of labels[4].

By 2008, the lineup had stabilised around Thompson and Davis together with vocalist Paul Sykes, drummer Rhys Llewellyn, and guitarists Jonathan Richards and Tim Farthing. This incarnation would produce some of the band’s most stylistically diverse work.

Following the departure of Richards, Hey Colossus were joined by Tim’s brother Roo Farthing for the 2017 album The Guillotine, their most refined and politicised record to date[5].

After extensive touring to promote The Guillotine, the Farthing brothers left the band to pursue other projects (Reigns and Henry Blacker). They were replaced by long-time associate Chris Summerlin (Grey Hairs, Haress, Kogumaza, Lords) and Will Pearce of the Bristol noise rock band Pohl.

In July 2018, Hey Colossus played a 15th anniversary show at the Moth Club in Hackney, London. A limited-edition live album was available to buy on the night[6].

In February 2019, the band announced via The Quietus that a new album, titled Four Bibles, would be released in May 2019 on Alter Records[7].

Musical style

Hey Colossus’ early output can be classified as sludge metal with elements of noise rock[8]. Each new record has seen the band embrace wider influences while retaining the ‘heavy’ sound that has become their trademark[9].

Today, the band’s music combines elements of noise rock, post-punk, hardcore punk, sludge metal, drone music, electronic music, psychedelic rock and krautrock.
