The Heavy Ninja Tune

Holy crap this band is awesome. Definitely one of the best bands I’ve heard in a long time and their newest album, The House That Dirt Built, is fantastic from start to finish. The Heavy revels in new-wave soul and funk, and have plenty of attitude to spare. The group, from Noid, England (like The Noid from the old Dominos ads), made a splash in 2008 at SXSW and gained some publicity through publicaiton like SPIN and Rolling Stone. However, you probably have heard them in that new KIA commercial where the toys and stuffed animals take the car joyriding and go to some bars and dance clubs in Vegas. This song is incredible, this album is incredible and everything about this band, so far, is, well, incredible. Plus their label is called Ninja Tune. Awesome.
