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…
