The Heavy release The House That Dirt Built today, October 13th - the follow-up to their riotous debut, Great Vengeance and Furious Fire. Well, the boys have reloaded with a grittier sound that mimics the energy of their notorious live shows, and the result is fire and brimstone like you've never heard.
Noid, England’s band of outlaws have traveled the world since their debut, and if this album is a travelogue, they’ve been down the dusty trails (“Short Change Hero”), jammed with the ghost of Hendrix (“What You Want Me To Do”), and crashed the wedding of Satan himself (“Sixteen”). Yet, for all their menacing howling, even the Big Bad Wolf gets forlorn (“Long Way From Home”), if not a bit starry-eyed (“Stuck”). Throughout, The Heavy lay down music that constantly lives on the edge of hair-on-fire, arms flailing madness, anchored by beats steady as a 10-ton anvil. Blood, sweat, and tears? That’s just the people listenin, dude.
Mixed and produced by Jim Abiss (Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Kasabian) and with Noisettes input on three tracks, The House That Dirt Built is an album that has a vast constellation of influences. The Heavy can party with the best of em. This album proves it.

ELIZABETH & THE CATAPULT - Taller Children
Elizabeth & The Catapult's brand new music "Taller Children".
"The song ‘Taller Children’ is an ode to all of the adults who just never quite figure out how to grow up. On a grand scale, that can sometimes be a pretty scary concept, especially when it's regarding people in power who can't handle their responsibilities,” says Elizabeth Abby Ziman, Elizabeth & The Catapult's vivacious singer-songwriter. "But on a lighter and more personal note, I'm just owning up to the fact that I still can't manage to cook a decent omelet- and I'm not afraid to laugh about it".
Having already built a strong following in their New York home turf, Elizabeth & The Catapult are now embarking on a national tour this summer. Don't miss your chance to see Elizabeth & The Catapult perform songs from their debut album, Taller Children.
