On "Hurt & The Merciless", British soul/rock quartet The Heavy capture the spirit of their celebrated live performances on record!
During the preparations for "Hurt & The Merciless", their fourth album, The Heavy went through some tough times - as if they wanted to live up to their band name. Divorce, break-ups and everything else that everyday life throws into the riverbed of life couldn't stop the band from Bath, England, from recording their most upbeat and exhilarating album to date. Kelvin Swaby, guitarist Dan Taylor, bassist Spencer Page and drummer Chris Ellul had a declared goal for the album: they wanted to finally transfer the phenomenal furor of their live shows one-to-one into the studio. The quartet really let it rip and the pure rock'n'roll joie de vivre seeps through the pores of every song. In 2009, the band achieved their international breakthrough with the monstrously good single "How You Like Me Now?". Just how popular the song eventually became was also demonstrated by the fact that it appeared on a number of film soundtracks, in TV series, games and commercials. "Hurt & The Merciless", with its seamless blend of rock'n'roll classics, funk and soul grooves and subtle additions of experimental sound elements, marks the high point of the band's work for the time being. They have infiltrated the fire of their live shows into almost a dozen of their best songs to date. They really do sound mercilessly good. With this furious opus, The Heavy should be more popular than ever.
