Reverend and the Makers - Heavyweight Champion of The World

Reverend and the Makers - Heavyweight Champion of the World Reverend and the Makers Band Members ♥ Jon McClure ♥ Richy Westley ♥ Stuart Doughty ♥ Joe Moskow ♥ Ed Cosens ♥ Tom Jarvis ♥ Laura Manuel Further Reading Reverend And The Makers - What The Milkman Saw http://weheartmus... What The Milkman Saw is from a 9-song demo made by the band. They have been handing the demo out ...

I love this song, and lately it's been playing nonstop on my iPod since Reverend and the Makers's debut album The State of Things, released September 2007 (I actually don't have their album because I refuse to pay $31 for an import).

"Heavyweight Champion of The World" was the first single from them, released last May. You may recall that Mads was all over them when all they had were a handful demos...

Many people believe they are the next big band in the UK. Let's see after a year, shall we..

I believe they have finally made it.

The debut single did so well for them, it made it to the top 10 the UK singles chart as well as top 10 on iTunes UK (note: not available in the US). Since I live here, I can tell you that no one in the US have heard of these guys... but with the right marketing and touring, I predict they are going to be a household name with such acts like Travis, Arctic Monkeys, and Coldplay.

That's pretty much it... oh they are going to set out on tour in February:

02/19/2008 GLASGOW ABC1
02/20/2008 MIDDLESBROUGH TOWN HALL
02/21/2008 SKEGNESS EMBASSY THEATRE
02/23/2008 LINCOLN ENGINE SHED
02/24/2008 BRADFORD UNIVERSITY
02/25/2008 WARRINGTON PARR HALL
02/26/2008 LONDON ROUNDHOUSE

They also mentioned that they'll be playing at the NME Award, which I'm 95% sure they're going to win for best new band.
