Biografie

  • Reverend And The Makers are an indie rock band from Sheffield, England who formed in 2005. Since debuting, they have released four studio albums and are best known for their top ten hit single “Heavyweight Champion Of The World”.

    Hurtling out of the same Sheffield indie rock scene that brought the world Arctic Monkeys, Reverend And The Makers were formed in 2005 by Jon McClure, one of the true movers and shakers of the whole scene and a truly gifted musician and songwriter in his own right. After the aforementioned Monkeys became the biggest band in Britain for all intents and purposes after the release of their debut single, many record labels pounced upon McClure to produce a similar sounding record as McClure and Alex Turner were close friends. However, each of them underestimated McClure and his drive to do things his own way. In his defence, his way was working out incredibly well for him, as shortly after the band self-released their debut single they sold out two nights at Sheffield's 1000 capacity Plug venue without a record deal to speak of.

    In fact, it wasn't until 2006 that the band signed to Wall Of Sound Records after the head of the label, Mark Jones saw them perform live and decided that they were the “best band in the world”. In April 2006, the band supported the all-conquering Monkeys, on their first tour of the U.K, and all seemed set for the band to follow in their friends' footsteps and become one of the biggest bands in the country. As it turns out that wasn't to happen, but what would happen would mean that Reverend And The Makers became a far more interesting band than the alternative possibility. It started out promisingly, with their debut single release “Heavyweight Champion Of The World” storming into the UK charts at number eight on its first week of release in May 2007, but the band, and McClure especially, had far too much personality to fit into the mainstream.

    Their debut album “The State Of Things” was a top five hit on the album charts on its release in September 2007, and thanks to McClure's wit, wisdom and commitment to his fans, the band have gone on to become one of the most enduring groups of the mid-2000's indie rock revival. With a further three top twenty albums to their name, support slots with the likes of Kasabian and Oasis, and one of the most accomplished live shows in indie rock, Reverend And The Makers come highly recommended.

  • A Reverend and the Makers show is like being in an intimate rock club, no matter the size of the venue.

    One of the best bands to come out of England in a long while, they combine the songwriting skills of greats such as the Beatles with the high energy crowd pleasing of the Kaiser Chiefs. All while cranking out some fantastic rock and roll reminiscent of the best that the Eighties had to offer.

    Front man Jon McClure, the Reverend of the band’s name, with his signature compelling vocal style help to make a night with Reverend and the Makers a truly special treat. He knows how to get a crowd pumped and moving. The band’s quasi electro pop sound melds seamlessly with the light show and provides an experience for the eyes as well as the ears. All complemented by McClure’s wife Laura on keyboard.

    If you go to see Reverend and the Makers, wear comfortable shoes because you will be moving and moving a lot. The band seems to feed the crowd with energy, causing mass bopping, dancing and waving of arms. If you get the chance, do not miss this show. You will most likely become a fan for life.

  • Reverend and the Makers if you've ever seen them live are always electric. Bangers from start to finish, nutters bouncing all night. So when they announced an acoustic tour I was intrigued. Could they still entertain without their usual bravado.

    Fear not the acoustic set was a success. Pulling from across their 5 previous albums and even given a taster of the new album with the track Ms Havisham it was a superb show. With only Jon McClure and Ed Cosens on stage they had a lot of gaps to fill and they carried the material well.

    Early in the night Rev did say to feel free to throw an elbow anybodies way that were talking through the ballads, we all laughed. Turned out he wasn't kidding. Why bother going to a show of all you are going to do is talk through it? But anyway from the start with Heavyweight Champion of the World to the end of Silence is Talking it was a great night all in and we'll worth the trek to Hull to see these two lads play a belter.

  • Sheffield indie rock outfit Reverend and The Makers rode the wave of the UK's adoration with indie bands in the mid-00s. 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' is considered a modern anthem and harks back to the glory days of Brit pop. The group went about building a career atop this incredibly sturdy building block and although many will often argue that the foundations are the band's only good material you cannot deny the solidity of the follow-up albums.

    They did not seem to be able to recreate the downtrodden passion of the early tracks so they focused on more stadium sized rock with a good amount of bravado. The fans react well to this as with a universal sound of magnitude means that they are able to dance, jump and chant along with these recognisable tracks. They end with a double early hit of 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' and the 'He Said He Loved Me', their two appearances on the UK charts.
