The Heavy - Words and Music - 2008

The Heavy could be called "retro" but they're definitely a rock band, incorporating influences from The Stooges to Curtis Mayfield with a little hip-hop on the side. The UK band's debut album, Great Vengeance and Furious Fire, has now reached American audiences, and Russ Borris caught a few of the songs live when The Heavy stopped by WFUV.
