Exclusive fan pack includes 'The House That Dirt Built' CD, badge and Counter Records label sampler CD
:: Ninjashop (US) - The Heavy Fan Pack :: Ninjashop (UK) - The Heavy Fan Pack
In Noid, a tiny hamlet situated to the south west of Bath, some of the most dangerous and ill sounding beats and riffs are being created by four wolf like personalities. The Heavy started out ripping and chopping beats from the likes of Bo Diddley, Little Walter and The Parliaments and fusing them with their now patented brand of high grade dirt. Guitar riffs that intoxicate, bass lines that reverberate around your head like a King Jammy dream and vocals that will challenge any of the genres they decide to take on.
The Heavy continually cross genres as they as a unit are proud to be completely musically schizophrenic. From country to rhythm and blues, garage punk to rock and roll, Studio one to the slums of shaolin, you'll find that The Heavy are indeed like a pack of chemists with the way that genres get cooked up, blended, stirred and then mixed, to create their own unique style of rock and roll.
The album Great Vengeance and Furious Fire released on Counter Records in late 2007 generated a great deal of interest with songs like That kind of man, Girl, Set me free, Coleen and Dignity, firmly laying foundations for the house of dirt that they are building at present. There is no other band that sound as raw as The Sonics while holding soul in a headlock and frequently wrestling rock to the ground with the weight of Mr 808 as tag team partner. Listen, then try and tell Louis different.
You will not experience another band like this ....
So dirty. So much weight. So much energy and laced with a soul that you just don't hear anymore........
The Heavy have indeed created a monster.
The Jim Jones Revue play a special XFM 14+ show at The Barfly in Camden this Monday. The show will be recorded and broadcast on John Kennedy's XFM Xposure radio show throughout November.
Thanks again for bringing us your house that dirt built...we lucky Parisians! It was a great gig (again!) and it sounded even dirtier (that's a compliment: the guitar and the bass were louder and heavier...the heavier the better!). Merci encore! Come back to Paris as soon as you can! a French teacher...
Thanks for the add!
