Reverend , or better Jon McClure, hails from Sheffield. He is backed by The Makers, a group of unknown musicians. Together, they are Reverend and The Makers. They make funky electronic music, kinda bloody cool. They got a contract in October 06 and their first single, "Heavyweight Champion Of The World"(a baggy-scented track),got pretty good airplay on British radio. It was also the summer anthem for clubber. A new single, "He Said He Love Me"(snazzy electro all the way), should be released any time now and the debut album will be out in September.
Reverend has also worked with a bunch of people such as Tim Hamptom of Bromheads Jacket (he bring a little of his style on "Bandits"), Andy Nicholson ex-Arctic Monkeys (funny, all the photos on the official site are made by Andy) , Tom Rawley of Milburn, and Alex Turner. It was in fact the track with Turner that brought their music to my attention.

deci you're a mind reader or something, pentru ca exact cand ma pregateam sa scriu despre Reverend & The Makers imi apare in google reader postul asta al tau...

btw, i-am vazut duminica seara in Polonia, nu live si pe un feed de satelit BBC de la festivalul Reading & Reads (pe celelalte feeduri erau in paralel Patrik Wolf, Razorlight, Panic! At The Disco, The Pigeons Detectives si Dinosaur JR), si pot sa-ti spun ca sunt beton live.

domnul Reverend are un look de Jim Morisson meets David Koresh, baga poetry intre piese iar soundul lor imi aminteste mult de Klaxons (hai, say something here :))
