Counter and +1 Records announce The U.S. release of
The Heavy's Great Vengeance & Furious Fire on April 8, 2008
 The Heavy |
"The Heavy sound like Curtis Mayfield's 'Pusherman' resurrecting Led Zeppelin and the exiled spirit of Cassius Clay. Get used to the weight, The Heavy are about to throw it down." -The Fly
"You'd think it would be hard to reinvent blaxploitation-era soul, but The Heavy pull it off explosively well... just listen and try not to fantasize about Pam Grier fighting off her pimp with a broken bottle." -NME, 8 out of 10 album review
"If you want your soul revival as funky as Amy Winehouse or Sharon Jones and the dap-kings but with just a little more fuzz, this British five-piece has you covered." -Rolling Stone
Hailing from the poor, insular and dark English countryside surrounding Bath, The Heavy are creating matchless grooves dissimilar to everything else happening right now. Self-described as heavy as f*ck, The Heavy are one of the baddest soul bands we've ever come across...
