A new song is out today. Take My Hand. Ben Verde - Drums Taylor Guariglia - Bass Adam Weber-Heavey - Vocals, Synth Mixed and Mastered by me (Adam) Additional production by Dr. @beau.dega Final Mix Notes - @bestgirlnyc Drums recorded at @nowherestudios.nyc . . . This is a song about a time and a place, and a memory of love and lovers. I wrote while reminiscing when me and the boys packed up and moved upstate to the Twin Peaks Villa in 2021. We rented this whole house and just messed around. We had thoughts of Love and Passion for each other. I will never forget Twin Peaks, so I included some beautiful photos taken by Thom and Sean. We also have a bunch of other photos mixed in. Including Vee by @willbexpress Please check out the song and give me feedback on if I did good or not on mixing. You can also leave feedback on Rudd's Bass and Ben's drums, just @ them in the comments. Come down to Alphaville later, starts 7:30. I'm gonna be releasing a beautiful cake.

Adam from @wheavy_ visits us at Bond Street (wearing official merch, obviously) and plays a new song on a 1970s Martin D-35 acoustic guitar! This Martin offers bold Dreadnought tone, making it great for any players who want an acoustic that can deliver deep bass, powerful volume, and is equally responsive to both picked and finger style playing. Listen to Wheavy’s new single “Take My Hand” when it comes out and catch them play it live at @alphavillebk this Friday, May 15th! Call, DM, or visit us in-store for any purchase inquiries!

HELLO. My beautiful band is playing a show on my Birthday.

Two of the best bands globally rn imo. We may even release a new song. More on that later. We want to thank @willbexpress for the awesome photos, and we are so excited that Ben is back from vacation as well ❤️‍🩹 Tickets in bio!!!???

WE ARE PLAYING AT ALPHAVILLE ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 20TH. A CONTINUATION OF OUR ALPHAVILLE WORLD TOUR. SPECIAL 4 PIECE SET, PLAYING 2 NEW SONGS. ALL FRIENDS BILL @dinerpets @continentalshelf @dogshapedmusic PHOTO BY @hazeleyesmediaa

We are finally playing a show with Metro Booming from all the hit songs. On October 17th, the forces of good will be uniting to play music at @metrorock_bushwick . We have the legends @mikeyleao who set this whole thing up, and @patfaking the other legends of all time. This would also be a good time to announce that our beloved Jude is taking a step back from active duty, and will be pursuing Classical Music. We are wishing Jude good luck in the journey ahead, and lots of love. Playing with Jude for the past two years has been absolutely magical, and the small family we created as The Core 4, and even the Core 5 briefly, was completely awesome. I can safely say that it was the most fun I have ever had playing music! Also please stream the new @paind_onthurt ! #thankyoujude We also need to announce that on October 17th, we will be joined by the freaking goats @veronicamarzipan and @beau.dega on stage. WHAT THE HELL? This thing is getting crazier and crazier. Who knows what the hell we are planning. This show is going to be frickin awesome dudes. We are going to make Taylor do pyrotechnics while playing bass. Ben is going to be stirring a pot of chili in his floor tom. Please come. Let's have the night of all time. pix by the @milknhoney_boy last pic by @sean_sirota also i stole pic of beau sorry (maybe by bri.dega) #rockclimbing #music #spacetunes #nintendo64 #crankthatsouljaboy

We have decided to return for one more show, with our beloved friends from @ratmotel and @surgngeneral . July 10th at Rubulad. @ratmotel has released a really epic song, and we are so honored that they asked us to play!!! . . The very next night, again at Rubulad, on July 11th, there will be an epic wrestling and music show for the release of @irishexitmusic album. Wheavy band is not playing that show, but we will be there. We are going to be sleeping over at Rubulad on July 10th, so we can be on time for the summer classic. Jungles is letting us sleep under the big tongue. Thank you. . . Photos by @sean_sirota Flyer by @ratmotel Flyer by @kyrahorario

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAYLOR! Everyone better come out on Friday and celebrate his epic birthday with us! . . To little Ruddy Ruddy Green-Borough: This summer marks 10 years since we first met. You were this little guy that was friends with MY friends through your older cousin Frankie. As you know, it wasn't always sunshine and rainbows between us. For the first few years, you hated me. Idk what that was all about, but I think it was like when a boy is mean to you in kindergarten when he has a crush on you. Over the years, we have grown from bitter rivals, to having one of the strongest creative partnerships to ever come out of Bensonhurst. We motivate each other. We laugh. We cry. Being there for you, and you being there for me has been so dope sauce. I have so much fun doing creative stuff with you, and I hope it lasts forever. I hope it never dies. The wrestling shows just keep getting better. The music keeps getting better. When I was in the Cropsey trenches, you were right there with me. Every year we take another step with all this stuff, and I can't wait for what this next year has in store for us. . . We raised $104 dollars for the @immdefense !! I included the donation screenshot in this! . . Photos 1 & 4 @marc_giuffre Photos 2 & 3 @milknhoney_boy Flyer by @kyrahorario

After many months away, we are returning to the stage to do brand new surprises on stage. We will be joined by two of our favorite bands of all time. @mrcylne and @semanticists (rebranded as Mr. Juice). We would also like to announce that Kyra Horario will be departing from the Wheavy Band. She was an absolute killer on guitar for us (I would compare her to Slash), and we wish her luck in all her future success. Separately, over the past few months, the four surviving members of the band (Me, Jude, Ruddy, Greenburgh) have had some difficult conversations about whether it made sense to continue as a band. It had become evident that we were severely burnt out from our world tour of Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens over the previous year. At several times in March and April, Ruddy and I were at each other's throats screaming and crying, and coughing up phlegm. I personally thought we would never play again. There was even a moment where Greenburgh and Jude unfollowed each other on Pintrest. The other day, we were all together on my birthday. It was the first time we had all been in the same room since our final show as a band in February. Kyra looked at the four of us and said, "Guys, this is pathetic. The four of you were one of the greatest bands to ever go on a world tour of Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens. Before I joined the band, I was just a fan, but after being in the band, I realized you all need each other. The chain keeps you together. You guys need to realize one thing. I'm not coming back. You guys played hundreds of shows before I joined. So stop fighting. You are all like 45 anyway. It's weird." Greenburgh looked up at me, "You know, I never liked the kid, but she is right. Why not us?" Jude echoed the sentiment, "Greenburgh is right. Why not us?" I looked over at Ruddy. He was hysterical. I walked over to him and said, "Hey bro, do you want to rock the world one last time?" He looked back at me with his bass, "Let's do this thing." Ruddy proceeded to play the Fallout theme song on his bass, as the camera panned to the four of us marching off into the sunset, in the direction of Alphaville. Photo by @sean_sirota

we will be playing a show at the broadway. it is a nice music venue in north brooklyn. not the real broadway from lion king or phantom of the opera. we had such a great time at baby's all right, even though we got snowed in and it was so dangerous that night. i'm pretty sure blunts will be in rotation. at the show. the photos are by my father @sean_sirota and my son @milknhoney_boy thank you.

For those about to rock, we salute you. I will be busting out the Kawasaki again at @babysallright on January 19th. Tickets are available for a limited time at the link in my bio. And soon, we will be babies. Once again. Rock... Roll. Flyer by @kyrahorario

I woke up this morning feeling a lot of gratitude for all the fun shit I get to do all the time. This is a thank you to everyone. This world can be so full of shit, but I wanted to take a moment and focus on the good stuff. Working on the Christmas Rumble with Taylor, Rob, Leo, and all of our friends who wrestled, was an all time memory. The bands that played were some of the best ever. It feels like every few weeks we get to put on the most fun show ever, with amazing bands and friends. We just keep doing it somehow. The Cropsey Records movement is real, and I feel so honored that this community is growing out of control.  Today also marks two years since my dad died. He was without a doubt the funniest person I have ever known. Before I was writing 20 page scripts about Dave's ass getting popped at Rubulad, and Danny spitting milk in Taylor's face, I was making 27 years of crazy movies with him as my lead actor. He was also the earliest supporter of Cropsey Records. I know it's completely stupid and cringe to thank him on Instagram, but I don't know how else to express all the feelings I have right now! So thanks dad! You were a complete goat, and I had no idea what I had with you in my corner! I wish you could see Dave yelling, "MY BIG BEAUTIFUL ASS!" This year we did a lot of wrestling. We did a lot of music. We covered Weezer. We brought Field Goal back from the dead. We made new friends. We reconnected with old friends.  As I lay here with Mia reflecting, I can't help thinking about the future, too. I can't even imagine the shenanigans that are about to take place. The next year is gonna be another big leap. It's not gonna be easy. But the most important part is already underway, and that is laying down with Mia.  We are playing at Baby's All Right on 1/19 with two of the best bands ever, on a joyous night hosted and DJ'd by my great friend Matthew Danger.  Love you ❤️ . . . . . . . . 📸 @milknhoney_boy (2,6,7,8,10,14,15,16) 📸 @daniel_christmas_69 (4) 📸 @kyrahorario (3) 📸 my mom (1, 18)
