In this week's episode, Jon McClure comes on to talk about the upcoming seventh album from Sheffield's Reverend and the Makers, 'Heatwave In The Cold North'.


Never one to rest on their laurels and a musical collective 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. From Top 10 hits like 'Heavyweight Champion of the World' to recent singles, 'High', 'Problems' and current single 'A Letter To My 21 Year Old Self', I would posit that this album is their strongest, most soulful and affecting body of work released to date.


It was only natural that I spent a little time discussing the new album, relevance in an ever-changing music scene, a dash of politics, as well as what we'd say to our younger selves if given the opportunity. Plus, we also discussed what's next for this ever evolving and artistically important Sheffield band.

Heatwave In The Cold North releases on April 28th, via Distiller Records.
