The Heavy are a British rock band from Bath, Somerset, England, formed in 2007. Their music has been widely used in the media, with their 2009 single "How You Like Me Now?" being used the most and becoming the band's signature song. The Heavy play a mix of guitar-heavy neo-soul and rock using crunchy guitar, funky horns, and raspy James Brown-like vocals. Their songs incorporate many different styles; for example, "Sixteen" samples the horn line and guitar verse from Screamin' Jay Hawkins's "I Put A Spell On You". "How You Like Me Now?" samples the song "Let A Woman Be A Woman" by Dyke & The Blazers. "Oh No! Not You Again" emulates garage rock; and "Girl" is a combination of spoken word and rap sampled from Terry Reid's "Superlungs".
