The Heavy-Live October 29, 2010
English band The Heavy draws influence from funk, soul, blaxploitation film soundtracks, and gritty garage rock.
The Heavy’s second album, The House That Dirt Built, was unleashed late last year.
Where the first record was sample-based, their second is much more a product of working as a band.
Like the early rock ‘n’ roll, blues and rhythm and blues which have influenced it, The House That Dirt Built is larger than life, funny, terrifying and occasionally beautiful.
The Heavy brought its amped up brand of soul during a performance in Studio 1A on Left of the Dial with Jeff McCord.
