Reverend and The Makers are an indie electro band based in Sheffield, England and signed to Wall of Sound. The band is fronted by Jon McClure, nicknamed "The Reverend". In late 2005, McClure once again collected musicians together for his new project: Reverend and The Makers. The original Makers, like previous bands included co-songwriter Ed Cosens, this time playing (bass). The rest of the makers consisted of Dave Sanderson (guitars), Joe Moskow (keyboards), Richy Westley (drums, ex-Hoggboy) and Laura Manuel (vocals), and occasionally Simon Stafford on trombone. Sanderson was dismissed in July 2006 after the band completed their first headline UK tour and replaced by Gledhill guitarist Tom Jarvis, who continues to play with both bands. At this time a percussionist, Stuart, was also added to the band's line-up. Stuart is the cousin of Eddie the Kid.
