Heavy Young Heathens released their self-titled debut on September 1, 2009. It hit the FMQB Top 5 on the album chart, and the single "Sha La La La La" charted at No. 16 on FMQB.
Their second EP, Make Room For The Youth, was released April 2010, debuting Top 5 on the FMQB Specialty Radio Charts and Top 20 on the Mediaguide Radio Charts.
