Reverend & the Makers "Heavyweight Champ...."

[do1frood]

Ok, I know this is not exactly hot off the press but I have heard this for ages rinsing out of the office radio and never found out who it was. It is like a hybrid of the Arctic Monkeys, Hard-Fi, Duran Duran and The Music (remember them? "Taaaaaake the long road"? No? Please yourselves) and the chorus is killer. Was it a pj song of the day? And there''s a club mix that makes me run around screaming.

Funnily enough I only discovered this a couple of weeks ago (I really must listen to the radio more!) Singing about ‘leccy bills almost put me off but the great chorus saved the day.

"Leccy bills" is the best part of the song.

For some reason, I''ve not heard their new one "He Said He Loved Me" yet. Will probably be caned to death on the radio pretty soon.

The lead singer''s vocals are pretty ropey live. The studio version of the song sounds tuned to death.

Still a good song though.
