(New York, NY) – British rockers The Heavy are back with the latest addition to their impressive musical catalog. Scheduled to release their latest album Sons worldwide on May 17^th, the band comprised of Kelvin Swaby (vocals), Dan Taylor (guitar), Spencer Page (bass guitar) and Chris Ellul (drums) build upon their unique sound that have garnered them fans around the globe. Blending rock, funk and soul in their music, The Heavy create memorable songs with infectious hooks and thought-provoking lyrics as evidenced in the first single “Better As One.” The video for the song was recently released and can be seen here: https://youtu.be/o_DN1FHDTWE.

“Written with the horrific events of Charlottesville in mind, the idea that people, with an ever-changing world are still championing division and racism, is something that could never exist in my bones. And is still wholly unbelievable. We look to our heads of state to nullify, breakdown and discredit these actions if it’s detrimental to a peaceful everyday. If and when they choose not to, then We The People must come together and show that strength, happiness and a beautiful life are more effective and achievable when we work as one,” explains vocalist Kelvin Swaby.

From the opening riff of “Heavy for You” to choral finale of album closer “Burn Bright,” it is clear The Heavy have built upon the sound that launched the band to fame in 2009. “Fire,” “Put The Hurt On Me” and “A Whole Lot of Love” demonstrate the throwback sound while sounding fresh and energized for 2019. Sons is currently available for pre-order at https://theheavy.lnk.to/SonsPR.

1. Heavy For You

5. Fighting For The Same Thing
6. Hurt Interlude
