On the edge of their second album’s release this October, The House That Dirt Built, and descending on their north American tour. The Heavy is teasing us with “Oh No! Not You Again” , the first of three singles to be release for preview. They successfully defy any categorization.  Their music is all over the board; soul, rock, punk, funk etc… depending of the song. Go ahead, try define their sound, I dare you!  The Heavy will respond with something new that calls for yet another classification.  They’re hungry and talented. 

Here is the first teaser of three.  Listen to The Heavy’s, “Oh No! Not You Again”, from The House That Dirt Built.
