Grey Filters is the second release by Perth heavy rock band Heavy Weight Champ. It was recorded with Jarrad Hearman to record the follow up to their debut release. The initial idea had been to record a few of the post Two Triple Zero tracks with the focus on a new song called "Filters" which was planned as a single or the title track of a short EP. Singer and guitarist Grant McCulloch proposed using an acoustic track he had written called "Grey" as a second track. Cellist Miriam Braun from Tragic Delicate guested on the track. The record was launched at The Amplifier Bar in Perth on 30 August with Beside the Point, Headshot and Subtruck supporting. Later that year "Grey Filters" was nominated for best single in the 2003 West Australian Music Industry Awards. It was also voted into the top five Australian releases of the year on Triple J's Full Metal Racket program.
