I’ve been following The Heavy for a long time now. I just love the unique punk-funk they create that puts Gnarls Barkley on shame. Their new album is titled The House That Dirt Built is out now & is available on iTunes.

Mixed & produced by Jim Abiss (best known for his work on the first Arctic Monkeys, Adele & Kasabian) & with Noisettes input on 3 tracks (The Heavy toured with them & have all became firm friends), The House That Dirt Built represents a huge step forward from an already fantastic debut in Great Vengeance & Furious Fire.

Grab a new song below & check out the dates after the jump, the band is coming to US shores for a couple of days.
