New music from The Heavy North

Liverpool-based blues rock outfit The Heavy North has just released their newest single, “Where Are You Now?” The single comes after a successful year for the band, which saw them embark on their first UK headline tour and perform alongside other Merseyside artists, including The Zutons, Cast, The Boo Radleys and Red Rum Club. The single is the first glimpse of new music from the band since the release of their critically-acclaimed debut album, Electric Soul Machine, which dropped on Record Store Day in April 2022.

The band, consisting of Kenny Stuart on vocals, Jose Ibanez on guitar and production, Andrew Horrocks on bass, Jack Birch on guitar, Ste Penn on keys and Mark Rice on drums, has been making waves in the Liverpool music scene since their festival debut at the Liverpool International Music Festival in 2019.

“Where Are You Now?” is a high-octane, foot-stomping track that showcases the band’s signature sound. With driving guitar riffs, pounding drums and Stuart’s powerful vocals, the song is a perfect example of the band’s unique blend of garage rock and blues.

The Heavy North’s live performances are legendary, and the band’s sold-out show at Liverpool’s Arts Club Theatre last year was a landmark moment for the band. The show saw them perform their entire debut album, with a 12-piece band featuring strings, a brass section and backing vocalists. The band’s upcoming show at Liverpool’s Camp and Furnace on December 1st promises to be even bigger and better.

In addition to their hometown show, The Heavy North has also announced a handful of headline shows in May, including a return to Scotland to headline Glasgow’s Audio, followed by shows at new Sheffield venue Network, The Live Rooms in Chester, and the legendary Water Rats in Kings Cross, London. These shows are sure to be must-see events for fans of blues and rock music.

Overall, “Where Are You Now?” is a fantastic single that showcases The Heavy North’s unique sound and impressive musicianship swagger. The band’s live performances are not to be missed, and their upcoming shows are sure to be highlights of the UK music scene. The Heavy North is a band to watch in 2023, and “Where Are You Now?” is just the beginning of what promises to be a great year for the band.
