About REVEREND AND THE MAKERS:

Never resting on their laurels and constantly striving to challenge perceptions of the band, Reverend and the Makers have become one of the enduring and great survivors of the British music scene. With a career spanning two decades Jon McClure and his collective of musicians burst onto the scene with their Top 5 Charting album, 'The State of Things'. The album spawned the UK Top 10 Single, 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World'. The five albums since have seen the band move through several incarnations, sounds, and lineups, and experience all the highs, and most of the lows, that the music industry has to offer.

Each of the albums has reached the Top 20 of the UK album charts, an impressive unbroken run of six albums. These albums have seen them cut across the creative spectrum, ranging from collective efforts to the frontman's singular visions. Instead, The Makers is more a sobriquet, a statement of intent, a commitment and a guiding principle that has seen McClure consistently strive to build, innovate, and grow musically and artistically. The Reverend's story is one of the great survival stories of the music industry as charisma, talent, defiance, and sheer willpower sees the band start a new chapter reenergised and raring to go. With a point to prove, with Heatwave In The Cold North, Reverend and the Makers set about the task in hand armed to the teeth with an arsenal of their biggest, best, and most accessible and ambitious songs to date.
