Reverend and The Makers have created something special for their highly-anticipated new album ‘Heatwave In The Cold North’ – the band’s seventh, and their first in five years. Concise, optimistic and uplifting, it includes lead singles ‘Problems’, ‘High’, ‘Heatwave in the Cold North’, and the emotive ‘A Letter To My 21 Year Old Self’ which has formed part of a wider project headed up by frontman Jon McClure. As they look set to imminently release their seventh studio album, the Sheffield based stalwarts have become one of the enduring and consistent voices running through the British music scene. With a career spanning two decades, their debut album, The State of Things (2007) had a peak chart position of #5, and spawned the UK top 10 single ‘ Heavyweight Champion of the World’.With sing-along rousing lyrics, dazzling percussion and sun-drenched guitars, this is anthemic and optimistic and McClure’s tone is warm and gorgeous. It feels nostalgic, but still at the same time fresh and contemporary.
