After a Kia commercial & Google search, I found the wonder that is “How You Like Me Now?” The song was so good in fact, I couldn’t resist buying the full album, to which I implore you to do also. Stepping into the music of The Heavy, you know you’re stepping into something special. The quality of some of the songs on this album is just so good, so energetic, it transcends almost everything else in rock n’ roll over the past 10 years. Heck, Letterman even had them play an encore for the first time in his show’s career. And after sampling The Heavy, you’ll be hard-pressed not to order an encore as well.
Highlights Include:
How You Like Me Now?
Short Change Hero
Long Way From Home
Cause for Alarm
Stuck
Once you get past some of the more indie/experimental elements of the album towards the beginning, and as soon as it transitions to full rock mode, then the album is almost virtually untouchable. The Heavy sounds like a combination of James Brown meets The White stripes, meets The Who/Classic 60s Rock. I’ll admit, this isn’t the most original product in the history of music, or even in its own genre, but The Heavy plays better than most out there. They also do a pretty decent ballad.
Overall, The Heavy mixes energy and soul into its blues rock, and brings out a killer combination. I can’t recommend this album highly enough, and if you’re a fan of modern indie or alternative rock, you’ll be right at home. But even if you’re not, The Heavy certainly does enough to convince you otherwise.

Saw this band on the Late Show on January 18th, 2010 and they were excellent. The song they played “How You Like Me Now” was amazing and Letterman was so impressed that he asked for an encore, something I’ve never seen or heard him do before. Check out the album, you won’t be disappointed.

This album is amazing. If you haven’t seen them do “How You Like Me Now?” on Late Show with David Letterman, I suggest you go the the CBS site and watch it. It’s all you need to see. They are the real deal. The whole audience was movin’ Always good to find real music that makes you move. Buy it. Just Buy it!

Love this album!! It is like Pulp Fiction and Beetlejuice had a baby and this is it…that is the only way I can begin to describe the feel of this album. It is awesome for a road trip. You have to listen to it loud to really appreciate it. I loved every song from the get go, and the more I listened to it the more it grew on me. I hope they put out another album of this caliber. I love the originality and would highly recommend buying it…you cannot get the full jist of it from the snippets you hear on the samples.
