It's been a long time coming but finally the debut single
from Sheffield legends Reverend And The Makers, fronted by
enigmatic punk/poet/frontman Jon McClure & his 6 piece
band is here. Produced by Jagz Kooner and mixed by Cenzo
Townsend, this first single is a massive wild eyed
statement of intent. A record that instantly grabs you by
the scruff of the neck and sounds like all your indie rock
dreams mashed together in one band. 'Heavyweight Champion
Of The World' has all the swagger of Manchester's 'finest'
with a lyricist that puts almost everybody else in the
shade. As if that wasn't enough, flick to the B side's
'18-30', with its wry commentary on boozy package holidays
and singalong anthemic qualities, and its patently obvious
that this is the start of something special. For good
measure the 7ö also comes with exclusive poem 'The Last
Resort' performed with reverend hero John Cooper Clarke.
The CD comes with exclusives in the shape of two mixes by
Jagz Kooner. First a 'Club Mix' of 'Heavyweight Champion
Of The World' and also an extended rework of '18-30', plus
the radio edit of 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World'.
