Editorial Reviews

2009 release. With a background in the joys of sampling and a foreground in scuzzy guitar, bass and beaten up drums, with schizo music tastes and a West Country pace, theyve been building brick by dirty brick. Now, theyd like to welcome you into their beautiful home for a little nose around, a kind of party if you like. And if a little blood gets spilled then thats just how it is. Nobody said it was going to be a spread from "Hello" magazine. It will, though, be the best party youve ever been to. The House That Dirt Built represents a huge step forward from an already fantastic debut in Great Vengeance & Furious Fire. Since then The Heavy have toured the world and, where the first record was sample-based, the new one is much more a product of working as a band. The House That Dirt Built is larger than life, funny, terrifying and occasionally beautiful. It is, in fact, a house youll want to visit again.

This album is amazing. If you haven't seen them do "How You Like Me Now?" on Late Show with David Letterman, I suggest you go the the CBS site and watch it. It's all you need to see. They are the real deal. The whole audience was movin' Always good to find real music that makes you move. Buy it. Just Buy it!

This review is from: The House That Dirt Built (Audio CD)

The House That Dirt Built is a great album full of funky and sassy (maybe that is a girly term)songs. It is worthy of being played on any occasion, parties, road-trips, and even while cleaning or cooking. I love the acoustic, "dirty" sound they have going on and would recommend this album to anyone and everyone looking to spice up their life. Plus, the band is as good in concert as it sounds on the CD!

This review is from: The House That Dirt Built (Audio CD)

I was first introduced to this band through the Kia Sorrento commercial featuring the toys going out on a night on the town. The song "How You Like Me Now."
I loved the song so much I hit the internet to find out who it was and when I learned of tis CD I rushed to buy it.
I was not disappointed in the least!
Amazon's editorial for the cd says the band has "schizo music tastes" and I couldn't have put it better. There is a little bit of everything on this cd. There is surely something to please everyone, from the reggae beats of "Love Like That" to the hard rock undertones of "Stuck."
If you are looking for a good time, give the Heavy's "The House That Dirt Built" a try, you will thank me for it later.
