The Heavy - The House That Dirt Builit

The Heavy are a hit indie rock band who claim to be from Noid, England, allegedly a small hamlet near Bath. However, no such place appears to exist. A likely explanation is that the name is a contraction of No Id, either a reference to not wishing to disclose their hometown, or from the No ID, No Sale campaign from pubs in the UK. The Heavy play a mix of guitar-heavy neo soul and rock using crunchy guitar, funky horns, and James Brown-like vocals. Their songs incorporate many different styles. The band will often leave in mistakes and imperfections that come with recording, as they feel it adds to the soul of the recording.
