Hurt & The Merciless marks a musical culmination for The Heavy, a mesmeric blend of their trademark rock’n’roll classicism and funk and soul grooves with added sonic experimentation. Self-produced, the aim was to capture the powerful blasts of the bands live show, that life-affirming spark of rock’n’roll when anything feels possible. The 12 track album which features the lead single "Since You Been Gone" plus the spiky garage-rock anthem "What Happened To The Love?", is a batch of their strongest songs yet.
