The Heavy are an English rock/soul/funk band from Bath. Core members cited in the reviews are Kelvin Swaby (vocals), Dan Taylor (guitar), Spencer Page (bass) and Chris Ellul (drums).

Breakout exposure came from the single "How You Like Me Now?" (frequently performed on TV, including David Letterman). Their work blends rock, funk, soul and R&B across multiple albums.

DeBaser reviews (by nick.orion) praise The Heavy's blend of rock, funk, R&B and soul across three albums. The House That Dirt Built and the single "How You Like Me Now?" are singled out as high points. The debut is valued for songs but noted to have production flaws. The Glorious Dead is seen as varied and ambitious.

For:Fans of rock, funk, soul and retro-influenced music.

 The single "How You Like Me Now" became very famous in 2009, especially thanks to performances like the one on the David Letterman Show.

 the song itself has a very James Brown-like rhythm and is probably the masterpiece, and I’m not exaggerating, of The Heavy’s discography.
