Heavy Jack
Heavy Jack is an indie rock band formed in 2005 now back in Calgary, Canada.
History
2005–2006: Soup
In September 2005, Heavy Jack recorded at Turtle Studios in White Rock, British Columbia, to start production for their debut album.
The band originally recorded 27 songs off the floor, but only the five best tracks from the session were released as the Soup EP. It was around this time that Heavy Jack began preparing the songs for what eventually would become Heavy Jack - Multiply.
2007-2008: Multiply
Around the middle of 2006, Heavy Jack went to Digital Sound Magic to get Soup mastered for replication. Richard Dolmat, after hearing Soup, approached Heavy Jack to record a full length album. In 2007, Heavy Jack finished off the arrangements for the songs and started recording at Digital Sound Magic. Early on in the sessions, Richard Dolmat asked to sign on as co-producer in addition to being the engineer. Although their debut album took only 90 hours to track and mix, a series of events with Jon Falk (including a broken finger, sprained ankle, and an appendectomy) delayed the process with sessions extending into 2007 and 2008. In May 2008, Heavy Jack Multiply was finally mastered and ready for production.
