Formed in Glasgow in mid 1981, Scottish Melodic Metal outfit Heavy Pettin' quickly rose to fame seeing them sign to NWOBHM label Neat Records cutting their now legendary debut single 1982's 'Roll the Dice'. Within a few months a major label deal with Polydor/Polygram Records was secured, and with Queen guitarist Brian May installed as co-producer, the group recorded their classic 1983 debut album, 'Lettin' Loose'. Successful British tours in support of KISS and Ozzy Osbourne catapulted them into the market with huge critical acclaim and chart success. USA tours followed and major festival appearances throughout the world established them as international artists in their own right. 'Rock ain't Dead' and the 'Big Bang' albums followed, continuing their market expansion and fanbase growth.
