For 11 years, Heathrow has been trying to write the perfect Midwestern Brit-pop song within the cold confines of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (read Manchester, England). Some fans say that the band has done it but Heathrow still sees its charge as largely unfulfilled. Borrowing heavily from 1980s pop and the 1990s Britpop waves, Heathrow delivers a sound that Mike Bennet of fufkin.com describes as Dairyland Cockney. Heathrow has produced two full-length CDs (2003's The Listening Class which The Big Takeover calls "An inspired effort" and the new World Opinion Is With Us) and a CD-EP (2002's Heathrow EP). Heathrow recorded World Opinion Is With Us with Producer Mike Zirkel (Garbage, Suede) at Butch Vig's Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin. Heathrow has, of course, played at shows and festivals throughout the Milwaukee and Madison areas, but has saved some of its best performances for Chicago (namely at David Bash's IPO festival), Indianapolis (at Royston Lloyd's rocking MOD Nights), and Toronto, Ontario. At the latter's NXNE festival in 2003, Heathrow was a NOW Weekly festival pick. Heathrow's recent projects have included soundtrack work for the independent film Side Effects, for the future indie film Silent Lucidity, and the Discovery Channel show Urban Explorers. In addition, band member Eric White served as a subject for Kristin E. Catalano's documentary film "Let's Start a Revolution" for which the band also provided some memorable tunes. Heathrow played a 2005 Milwaukee Summerfest slot, opening for Phantom Planet and John Davis of Superdrag, and has recently opened for Trashcan Sinatras and Thomas Dolby.
