Indie rock

The Heavy is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Dyke & The Blazers, Daniel Pemberton and Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings. Those roots explain a lot about how The Heavy arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Revivalists, Des Rocs, Dan Auerbach, Band of Skulls and Hanni El Khatib, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Drive-By Truckers and Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 30 connections around The Heavy, reaching back through Dyke & The Blazers and forward to Drive-By Truckers.
