Reverend And The Makers

Heavyweight Champion Of The World

**********************************

Reverend And The Makers release their debut single

'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' on May 28th 2007.

A strapping, intense 25-year-old, over the past couple

of years Jon 'Reverend' McClure has established

himself as the don of the Sheffield music scene.

Before he'd even signed a record deal he was

selling-out thousand-plus capacity venues in his

home city, curating his night Reverend Soundsystem

and collaborating, inspiring and conspiring with

the Steel City's key guitar-slinging players.

And now? He's ready to unleash his debut single.

A spiralling electro-funk anthem,

'Heavyweight Champion Of The World'

is the definitive eleventh commandment: '

Thou shalt not be like everybody else'.

It comes backed by '18-30' - a sharp snapshot

of boozed-up Brits abroad - and,

on the limited edition 7'', 'The Last Resort'

- a snappy spoken-word duet with McClure's

Mancunian punk-poet hero John Cooper Clarke.
