About: The Heavy
A co-ed quintet
from the outskirts of Bath, England, the Heavy draw influence from funk, soul,
blaxploitation film soundtracks, and the gritty garage rock of the Sonics.
Guitarist Dan
Taylor and vocalist Kelvin Swaby became friends in the 1990s, bonding over a
shared appreciation for vintage R&B and Jim Jarmusch films. Joined by
bassist Spencer Page, drummer Chris Ellul, and keyboardist Hannah Collins, the
two launched their own act — the Heavy — and began combining Taylor's distorted
guitars with lo-fi samples, horns riffs, stomping percussion, and soulful
Prince-styled vocals.
The photogenic
band made its studio debut in 2007, releasing several singles on the
London-based Ninja Tunes label before issuing the full-length Great Vengeance
and Furious Fire that fall. An American release followed in early 2008 on the
newly minted +1 Records. The Heavy returned with its sophomore album, The House
That Dirt Built in 2009. In 2012, the band delivered the self-produced The
Glorious Dead
