The Heavy - The House that dirt built

you can't imagine Garage rock inspired Funk to be a genre most people relate to so where does this leave The Heavy?

Signed to Counter records an off shoot of the amazing Ninja Tunes they manage to produce a retro sound but adding a modern twist, from The Stooges esque Garage rock sound of Oh No! not you again to the brilliant how you like me now?, which you could possibly only describe as a Chemical Brothers remix of James Brown, some nice beats laid over a funky break with some classic old school vocals.

This as an album that should appeal to a huge variety of people and the ability to combine soul, funk, garage rock, reggae, crunchy guitars and Hip Hop Beats into 11 tracks deserves credit, this a great album with something for everyone and should bring them to the attention of more people and deservedly so

Key Track - How you like me now?
