Reverend And The Makers release their debut single 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' on May 28th 2007.

A strapping, intense 25-year-old, over the past couple of years Jon 'Reverend' McClure has established himself as the don of the Sheffield music scene. Before he'd even signed a record deal he was selling-out thousand-plus capacity venues in his home city, curating his night Reverend Soundsystem and collaborating, inspiring and conspiring with the Steel City's key guitar-slinging players.

And now? He's ready to unleash his debut single. A spiralling electro-funk anthem, 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' is the definitive eleventh commandment: 'Thou shalt not be like everybody else'.It comes backed by '18-30' - a sharp snapshot of boozed-up Brits abroad - and, on the limited edition 7'', 'The Last Resort' - a snappy spoken-word duet with McClure's Mancunian punk-poet hero John Cooper Clarke.
