Heavy Metal Kids are a British rock band formed in London in 1972 by the merger of two previous bands, Heaven and Biggles. Their music combined hard rock and glam rock influences, and they were known for energetic live performances and frontman Gary Holton’s charisma.

They released several albums during the 1970s, building a small following, despite never achieving commercial success.
