Great Vengeance and Furious Fire

The Heavy's dirty, guitar-scorched hip hop soul will lead you into temptation. Hailing from a town in the English countryside called Bath, which they describe as "the graveyard of all ambition," The Heavy make everything wrong sound right. At the core are Swaby and Taylor, who have known each other for a decade. When they met, the two bonded over vintage rhythm and blues and the films of Jim Jarmusch. They soon recruited Ellul (drums) and Page (bass) and began gigging as a four-piece; most recently Hannah Collins joined to round out the sound.
