"You like Iron Maiden? You like Judas Priest? You like Dio? Pretty much all you need to know to figure out if you’ll like HeKz ..."

Like those mentioned above, memorable hooklines, squealing
guitar solos and soaring vocals are what HeKz is all about. From the short
pacey numbers to long drawn out epics, they'll take you on a journey
through all things musical and mythical, but without losing that much
needed sense of fun. With two EPs and a wealth of gigging experience under
its collective belt, the band continues to thrive and, in the words of a
certain Mr Iommi, " keeps
the flag flying."
Live is where the band truly shines, bringing their songs to life as only they can, with an inherent spontaneity (and a bizarre dress sense) which only heightens the sense of excitement these boys can generate. Whether it be saddling up on someone's shoulders for an aerial guitar solo around the venue, getting down to it in a pair of furry bellbottoms or the pang of a cowbell, HeKz strive to put the "show" in "show" ;-).
Now, I know you're thinking, "That's all well and good, but what do the critics say?" Well, you need look no further -
"In the true and honorable tradition of English heavy metal music, they
are bang on the money" - Big George (BBC 3CR)
"An
eyewateringly blistering set full of finger-bleeding solos and thumping
riffs."
-The Cambridge Evening News
"... the most amazing sound you will ever hear!"
- Gareth Lloyd (The Box Office, BBC 3CR)
"I thought Hekz were great ... I had no
ideas kids that young nowadays were listening to the kind of stuff I was
listening to when I was that age."
– John Wheeler aka Barley Scotch (Hayseed Dixie)
"It’s really great for a band to be playing rock music at 14-16 years old … We need kids like this to be the coming into the business to keep the flag flying. Stick to what you're doing boys and keep it up." - Tony Iommi, Black Sabbath guitarist
"Iron Maiden with an equal measure of Dragonforce, add a dash of Dio-style fantasy metal and just a pinch of Justin Hawkins" - Chrissie Miller (Bedford Esquires)
"Its refreshing to see a band not giving a shit about trends and fashions and entertaining people in the way that they did ... a band that entertaining so young I can see great things ahead of them." - Dave, DTA Promo
