Reverend & The Makers Drop Catchy New Single ‘Haircut’ Featuring Vicky McClure
Sheffield legends Reverend & The Makers are back with a bang – and a fresh trim! Their brand-new single Haircut has just landed, and it’s already turning heads. Teaming up with none other than British icon and mate Vicky McClure, the track is a playful, infectious slice of indie-pop brilliance that’s got us hitting repeat.
Haircut is the latest teaser from the band’s eagerly awaited eighth studio album, Is This How Happiness Feels?, set to drop on April 24 via Distiller. If this single is anything to go by, we’re in for a record full of feel-good anthems, sharp wit, and that unmistakable Rev energy.
A Music Video That’s Full of Character
The Haircut music video is just as entertaining as the track itself. Featuring Vicky McClure on lead vocals, the video stars Steve Bracknall and is directed by Nick Suchak. It’s a quirky, character-driven visual that perfectly matches the song’s upbeat vibe. Executive producer Jonathan Owen—who also plays bass in the video—adds another layer of charm to the production. You can check out the video here on YouTube.
