ROUND AGAIN

The Heavy North are Kenny Stuart (singer), Jose Ibanez(guitarist/producer), Andrew Horrocks (bass player), Jack Birch(guitarist), Ste Penn (keys) and Mark Rice (drums). 

Following a festival debut at the Liverpool International Music festival (LIMF) in 2019, The Heavy North released their debut 4-track EP ‘Dive Bar Blues’ on limited edition 12” vinyl in December 2020.

They went on to release their, critically-acclaimed debut album Electric Soul Machine on Record Store Day UK in April 2022 before embarking on their first UK headline tour in September 2022 – including a sold out 500-capacity hometown headline show at Liverpool’s Arts Club Theatre where the band performed their debut LP in its entirety, accompanied by a 12-piece band.

‘Round Again’ marks the second single from The Heavy North’supcoming album following the release of ‘Where Are You Now?’back in March which was featured on BBC Radio 2’s The Rock Show with legendary Johnnie Walker as well as BBC Introducing and Radio X.

‘Round Again’ is the bands second single from their highly anticipated second album Delta Shakedown, which is set for release in October and is available to pre-order now on 12” gatefold vinyl (blue or red colour disc) exclusively from Wax and Beans Records in Bury here.

‘Round Again’ starts off with a strumming groove, which quickly picks up pace and is interspersed and layered with fuzzing, rock blues guitar riffs, harmonica and pounding drum beats. It’s an exhilarating, high-octane action packed tune from start to finish.

Of notable mention is the guitar solo from Jose which is a magnificent display of musicianship that leads perfectly into a harmonious vocal solo.

The vocal delivery from front man Kenny Stuart is powerful and emotive really taking centre stage on the track but not so much as to downplay any of the incredible, vibrant instrumentals that are backing him up.

Kenny has said of the track;

“It’s a song about being complacent with day-to-day routines whilst longing for a wilder, more carefree time”. “Round Again is also a response to our last single ‘Where Are You Now?’ which was about wondering what people from our past are up to now, but with this time we’re reflecting on our own circumstances and situations”
