Reverend and The Makers |
‘If your not living on the edge, you take up too much room’
Jon McClure may be many different people. A poet. A gobshite to his enemies. A genius to his friends. An armchair detective. The bloke working in the Sheffield Steel factory with the Trotsky pamphlets in his back pocket. The bloke who sets to save the world with a mouse and a blogspot account. A 25-year-old pop revolutionary. Yes, a friend of the Arctic Monkeys. And now, a top ten pop star. The Reverend, and with his band The Makers, he's just made 'The State Of Things' - possibly the greatest album in the world. ever!
