The Heavy Taps Into the Muscley Sound of Southern Soul

Category: Health
Duration: 00:33:17

Description:

The Heavy is a band from Bath, England – an unlikely place for a group whose sound has been rooted in the kind of swampy, sweaty mix of gospel, R&B, funk and rock that we associate with the American south. Their latest, Amen, is "an exhilarating maelstrom of ‘60s R&B riffs, horns, and gospel harmonies" (Bandcamp), which "writhes with seditious blues drama, soul and gospel passion, the crunch of prime hip-hop and garage punk’s visceral electricity", (ShoreFire.) The full band joins us in-studio on a rare day off on their American tour.

Set list: "Hurricane Coming", "I Feel the Love", "Feels Like Rain", "Bad Muthafucker"
