Heavy Breathing is an American rock band from Washington D.C. formed in 2010 by guitarist Erick Jackson, drummer Jeff Schmid, and keyboardist Amanda Kleinman, who were formerly in the band "The Apes". They have released two albums, "Body Problems" in 2012 and "Airtight" in 2015.

In November 2016, the band had attracted attention after performing at Comet Ping Pong. The New York Times had reported that Amanda Kleinman deleted her Twitter account after receiving abusive comments from those who believed in the Pizzagate conspiracy theory. In an interview with the magazine, Kleinman said "We are at a dangerous place in American culture where a good percentage of people aren’t distinguishing what is a real news source based on real reporting and fact-checking and only reinforcing pre-existing ideas they have". After receiving death threats, Kleinman took screenshots of them to report to the police.
