Massive Wagons initially built a strong early following in the north of England, blending together their love of rock'n'roll with an unfiltered sense of fun. Borne out of Adam Thistlethwaite and Baz Mills' time playing in a covers band, the pair recruited Adam's younger brother Alex and longtime friends Adam ‘Bowzer’ Bouskill and Carl Cochrane, setting about to write fast and frivolous heavy metal.
The five-piece found an audience in the UK's active biker scene, tapping back into their past to deliver a handful of well-received covers alongside their growing repertoire of distinctive original songs. They soon released their debut EP Sniff The Riff, recording enough songs to drop their Fire It Up full-length debut in 2012. A remastered version followed in 2019.
Their debut album saw them step away from cover songs, setting out as a fully-fledged band and touring across the UK. The shift in focus saw Massive Wagons win a competition to perform at Hard Rock Hell Festival in 2012, and forgo performing as a support act to delved straight into DIY headline tours.
Fight The System emerged in 2014, including single Red Dress, cementing the band's rotation on underground radio stations, and leading to the release of their third studio album, Welcome To The World, two years later. The record provided a welcome platform for the band who joined Ginger Wildheart on the road for their first full UK support tour. A year later Massive Wagons released their Back To The Stack single, a tribute to Status Quo's Rick Parfitt, which received nationwide acclaim and radio play.
Carl Cochrane left Massive Wagons that same year, replaced by Stevie Holl, and the band signed to Earache Records for the release of 2018's Full Nelson. The record saw the band break into the official UK album chart, reaching No.16, and kicked off their mammoth 18 month tour across the UK and Europe. They joined Lynyrd Skynyrd on their arena tour, and supported Thunder, The Dead Daisies and The Wildhearts before the decade was out.
In 2020, the band announced their second album through Earache Record, and their fifth in total. House Of Noise, released in July 2020, produced by Colin Richardson and Chris Clancy at Backstage Studio. In celebration of the album's release, the band also announced headline dates through March 2021.

3 bands all on top form. No sound issues even the opening act Cam Cole had brilliant sound. Lighting display was excellent and again it seemed like all the bands were allowed to use the lights to there full capacity. Massive Wagons, Florence Black and Cam Cole were all amazing to watch and hear. Overall one of these concerts I have ever attended
What a fantastic night! Massive Wagons NEVER let you down on stage. True entertainers. Florence Black were great as well! If you get a chance, see them both!
Cam Cole was out of this world...on par with Hendrix in my opinion...blew me away. Florence Black were fantastic. Only got to hear few of Massive Wagons due to me having to leave due to transport. What a gig...was amazing...thankyou so much..and thankyou for highlighting suicide prevention...God bless you all...was absolutely amazing.
Awesome band, awesome support, awesome gig. These guys never disappoint live.
1st time seeing Massive Wagons Wow they just blew me away Florence Black and Cam Cole were both excellent too. Cant wait to see them all again.
First time seeing Massive Wagon. They put on a gig how it should be done. Came out at 100% and then improved, no let up. The effort, and obvious enjoyment from the band shone out. They wanted us to be there and share the experience. Lacking with many of the bigger acts these days. I liked the venue, but drinks a little expensive.
This is the third time I've seen the Massive Wagons. Enjoyed the show apart from a couple foibles. 1) The venue was too small. We were wedged in like sardines, right to the back and up the stairs. 2) I had no idea there were 2 support bands. I expected the show to be over around 10:00, so went on the train. As it was they didn't start until 9:30. So we had to get a taxi home.
Wagons did not disappoint as per usual, huge energy and an absolutely brilliant performance. Only complaint is that the O2 moved the gig to the smaller room and it just wasn't big enough, fight your way to the bar and toilets, sort it out O2!!!
