In October 2006, following extensive touring and having built up a hardcore fanbase, the band signed to Wall of Sound records. Their first single "Heavyweight Champion of the World" recieved good airplay on Radio 1 and hit the UK Top 10, and has become of this summer's anthems for many clubbers and festival goers alike, appealing to fans of both dance and indie.
Another single (He Said He Loved Me) is to be released at the end of August, alongside an album (State Of Things) in September.

Silence Is Talking
Reverend and the Makers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever would you say to your friends?
Nobody's gonna rewind this one
Because there's no easy way of making amends
However did they justify this one?
I wonder if it's money to home
Because the political offical might have fiddled it a little slow
Are you unaware?
Could it been that you don't care?
You can't just kick your heels and wish it away
Being in love is paramount
Feeling love is paramount
Feeling love is paramount
Feeling love is paramount
Nothing fancy at his spot on
They don't suppose what they wanna suppose
Maybe he's a liar and there's no smoke without fire
And I bet you swallowed it whole
Are you unaware?
Could it be that you don't care?
You can't just kick your heels and wish it away
Being in love is paramount
Feeling love is paramount
Feeling love is paramount
Feeling love is paramount
Silence is talking
Silence is talking
Silence is talking
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Silence is talking
Silence is talking
Silence is talking
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
The lyrics of Reverend and the Makers' song Silence Is Talking appear to be about the dangers of turning a blind eye to important issues and staying silent instead of speaking up. The first verse talks about a situation that is difficult to explain to friends, and how there are no easy ways to make amends. The second verse speaks of the justification for certain actions, which are unclear and may involve monetary gain. The chorus then emphasizes the importance of feeling love and being aware of what's happening around us.
The lyrics seem to suggest that people often remain silent when they should be speaking up and taking action. The line "Silence is talking" emphasizes this point - even if we don't say anything, our silence can still be interpreted as agreement or acceptance. The verses touch on issues of corruption, lies, and cover-ups, which are all issues that often require people to speak up and take action.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of love and being aware of what's happening in the world around us. It seems to suggest that love and empathy are key to making positive changes, and that we need to be aware of the issues in order to take action. Overall, the song appears to be urging listeners to be aware of what's happening around them, speak up when necessary, and take action to make positive changes in the world.

I’ve come late to the game. Saw them at Tramlines in the mud 2023, blew me away!
I’ve missed 15 years of brilliance.
Glad I’m hear now though.

I remember when I first heard a band called War. That’s how old I am. What a great tribute inserted in a newer song.

I remember seeing these support the Arctic Monkeys in 2006 and they have just got better and better for me. The new album took about three weeks to grow on me but its absolutely awesome, there isn't a song that you can't listen to!
