More Reverend and the Makers

Hotly-tipped Reverend and The Makers have become a big deal in their hometown of Sheffield, with Jon McClureâ€™s big mouth, big friends (heâ€™s worked with the Arctic Monkeys, donâ€™t you know) and admittedly big band all clamouring for promotion to the indie, er, big league. Which is all well and good, if it didnâ€™t all sound so much like 90s Manchester. New Order synths, Mondays swagger and Ian Brownâ€™s melodies all find their way onto the ballsy yet familiar â€˜Heavyweight Champion of The Worldâ€™ - and even Mancunian poet John Cooper Clarke lends his services on B-side â€˜The Last Resortâ€™. Reverend and The Makers could well be contenders, but theyâ€™ll have a few old champs to thank if they get there.

Released 28/05/07 on Wall of Sound
