The Heavy just came out with a new album, The Glorious Dead, and the soulful rock & roll group have again provided us with a super catchy soul/rock anthem, “What Makes a Good Man?”. Now, with Newt Gingrich being reprimanded by the band for his use of “How You Like Me Now” on his campaign, I wonder if “What Makes a Good Man?” might make a more suitable soundtrack for the Presidential race? The new video for “What Makes a Good Man?” has just come out, and is available for your auditory and visual pleasure above. Their sophomore album seems ready to live up to the hype after a successful debut, and I expect you’ll be hearing The Heavy’s catchy beats everywhere soon (they’ve already been picked up for a Miller commercial). I’ve posted their US/Canada tour dates below, so get out and support the band if they come to your town.
