J Roddy Walston and The Business are the greatest band to come out of the south since Creedence Clearwater Revival. I shit you not. Born in Richmond, Virginia, in 2002 these stone cold legends have three massive albums behind them. The band are influenced by gospel, country, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and T. Rex. Heavy Bells (2014) is the bands most successful single; cracking top twenty or thirty in the U.S. depending on the chart. From the third album Essential Tremors (2013), Heavy Bells is a tune Music OMH called “a distortion fuelled number that sounds like In The Summer Time by a very angry Mungo Jerry.”

“I know that old Catholic tone,

The heavy bells”
