Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Heavy formed in Somerset, England in 2007, with Kelvin Swaby on vocals. Their debut album 'Great Vengeance and Furious Fire' came out in 2009 and included 'Short Change Hero,' a track that found an audience well beyond the UK. That song earned them an Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song.
They've kept a fairly steady lineup with Dan Taylor on guitar, Chris Ellul on bass, and Will Crewdson on drums. Later albums like 'The House That Dirt Built' and 'Sons' continued in a similar vein, mixing blues and rock with a soulful edge. Other songs like 'How You Like Me Now?' and 'What Makes a Good Man?' became staples of their live sets.
